    I picked up my 2011 on Saturday.. II...I love the car, but the HU has to go...I'm coming from a 2010 VW CC and I'm completely missing my Bluetooth and Sirus radio.

    I'm going with the Clarion CX501-I have no need for Nav, so this seems to be a good option. I'm assuming that I will need the wiring harness, and the steering wheel control interface. I would like to add the SCC1 Universal Tuner for Sirius as well...

    Does this look correct? Anything I'm missing? What about the antenna for the sat radio?

    I thought I would run this past the experts before I pull the trigger...

    thanks-Greg

    Welcome aboard Greg. Sounds like you got everything but new speakers. :) Those aren't really necessary IMO. Follow my A/V upgrade link in my signature to see my experience. Good luck!

    Looks correct to me Greg. I just replaced my factory JBL head unit with the Kenwood DDX419. The sound is much cleaner and overall sounds much better with the JBL amp and speakers.

    Next I'm thinking I may swap out the factory JBL amp with a JBL MS-8 and amp. I'm just crazy addicted to working on this stuff, lol.
