Date Published: 5/19/08

The Eclipse SIR-ECL1 Sirius Connect is a quick and hassle-free way to add Sirius Satellite Radio to an Eclipse Sirius-ready head unit. It includes an Eclipse-compatible E-LAN Bus cable, and it has decidedly small antenna with a strong magnet that mounts securely to a car's exterior.

The SIR-ECL1 enables users to connect other Eclipse equipment to the head unit with a passthrough connector, thus using only one auxiliary input. The system is compact and small enough to tuck out of sight under the dashboard or a seat. Compatible with all Eclipse Sirius-ready head units, the Sirius Connect SIR-ECL1 is a smart and inexpensive way to add Sirius Satellite Radio to a vehicle's audio system.
