I currently have a Starmate 5 plugged into an AUX port on a 2007 Honda Odyssey. I also have a JVC KD-AR880 head unit with a SIRIUS tuner/adapter (older one piece unit from about 2006). I was thinking of trying to combine the two vehicles somehow by using the Starmate 5 in both & therefore not having to pay for two subscriptions. Rather just the one subscription since I'm really only in one car at any given moment. Plus, my Starmate 5 has 'Best of XM' and my JVC tuner isn't best of XM compatible anyway so I wanted to be able to get BOXM on the JVC in a inexpensive manner.
Can I use the SC-VDOC1 with the Starmate 5 & my JVC KD-AR880. I'm hoping so since it from only about 2007. I realize I would then also have to get the KS-SRA100 adapter as well, but just wondering if this is feasible.
Also, while I have the Starmate 5 currently hooked up to the AUX port on my Honda Odyssey, I was thinking I might be able to do a similar setup with the SC-VDOC1 in this Honda. I would then transfer the Starmate 5 back and forth between the two vehicles. Therefore I could then also use the full steering wheel controls to maybe change channels as well as volume control AND see the track info on the stock stereo. I would simply pair it up with the SiriusConnect HON-SC1 adapter, correct? Is this possible as well? Or can just the SC-C1 tuner only be used with the HON-SC1 adapter? Just curious about my options here.
As long as you’re certain that the factory stereo in your Honda is “Satellite Radio Ready”, then yes, the HON-SC1 is compatible with the stock stereo and the SC-VDOC1 is compatible with the HON-SC1.
The SC-VDOC1 is compatible with the Starmate 5, so you’re good to go in this application.
At this time, I am unable to confirm compatibility with your JVC KD-AR880 because this specific model was never offered at Crutchfield. If you can confirm that the JVC KS-SRA100 is compatible with your stereo, then you should have no problems adding the adapter and the SC-VDOC1.
I hope that helps.

The KD-AR880 does have a J-Bus connector, so I'm 99% sure it will work - wouldn't hurt to verify with JVC, though!!!

Both options - the SC-VDOC1 and the HON-SC1 - seem feasible to me, but I am not totally familiar with this hardware, so I can't be 100% positive.
Hope This Helps!!!
Anyone else have suggestions?
Yea, my 2007 Honda Odyssey is "XM Ready" so I should be covered there.
Another thing I guess maybe I should of shared about this, but my KD-AR880 (not sold by Crutchfield) shares the same user manual as the JVC KD-G830 (sold by Crutchfield) so hopefully that helps in determining compatibility.
Hmmn, CF doesn't list the KD-G830 as compatible, but I would think it would be - hopefully Ryan can comment or JVC's tech support ...
