Sirius Radio help!

[heartsy77]

My Dh has a 2011 F- 150. It has a sirius button however it appears it's just a button and his truck didn't come sirius ready. He has called and verified this with customer service.

My question is I believe I can buy a receiver or tuner to make it work right? What is it called and could he install it himself? He is handy.
My Dh really wants satellite radio and I would love to surprise him for Xmas! \
TIA!

The answer to your question is "Yes, such things DO exist!"

Customer service by Ziggy is top-notch -- as printed compatibility ends at "2010", there is a strong chance they will work on 2011 vehicles, too. Never hurts to ask them...
