That is what you want to be able to control w/ your head unit. It will also net you the best sound possible from Sirius.

I bought one brand new from a guy here on the board for $60.

what are the pins for the Pioneer DEH-3800MP IP-BUS connector? I am being told that there are 2 versions of IP-BUS sockets, mine is blue (i read the other one which is older is black) but i need to know the pinouts for it, thanks

The one I linked to is the one you need.

An excerpt from the manual:

Head unit group 1

Operation of the following head units is the

same as the “DEH-P4800MP”. Refer to the instruction

starting on page 11.
