About the Alpine KCA-SC100 SIRIUS Adapter
The KCA-SC100 adapter lets you control a SIRIUS satellite radio with your Alpine stereo. For SIRIUS reception, you can connect the adapter to either of the following:
- the SC-C1 SiriusConnect universal tuner;
- a compatible SIRIUS portable radio, like the Sportster, Starmate, Stratus, or Stiletto, together with a SiriusConnect vehicle kit.
The KCA-SC100 adapter sends song text to the Alpine stereo's display, and lets you browse SIRIUS channels by using Alpine's Quick Search feature. It also supports cool features like Song Alert and Game Alert, so that you'll get a shout out from the stereo whenever one of your favorite songs or sports teams plays on SIRIUS. If your plug-and-play satellite radio has the SIRIUS REPLAY feature, this adapter lets you pause and replay live SIRIUS programming.
The adapter powers the satellite radio and includes an Ai-Net pass-through connection, letting you add another piece of Alpine gear, and allowing you to control the hide-away tuner or newer SIRIUS portable radios like the Sportster, Starmate, Stratus, or Stiletto. See the "Crutchfield Hands-on Research" tab for a full compatibility list. Warranty: 1 year.

Features
General Overview: The Alpine KCA-SC100 Sirius Satellite Radio Interface lets you control your Sirius plug-and-play tuner from your 2007 Ai-Net head unit. In addition to the KCA-SC100 interface, you will need an Ai-Net compatible Alpine head unit, and either an optional SiriusConnect Universal Vehicle Tuner (item# 607SCC1) or a Sirius plug-and-play device with a SiriusConnect Vehicle Kit (item# 607SCVDOC1), along with a subscription to SIRIUS Satellite Radio.
Compatibility: The KCA-SC100 is compatible with all Sat-Radio Ready Ai-Net Alpine Head-units and requires an optional SiriusConnect Universal Vehicle Tuner (item 607SCC1) or SiriusConnect Vehicle Dock and Portable Tuner (item# 607SCVDOC1).
Control Functions: The Alpine interface allows you to control your SIRIUS plug-and-play device right from your Ai-Net Alpine head-unit when connected to the optional SiriusConnect Vehicle Kit (item# 607SCVDOC1). The interface allows you to control the following functions from your compatible Alpine Ai-Net radio.
- Quick Search: Use Quick Search to browse all artists and songs currently playing on all channels.
- Music Alerts: If your portable plug-and-play SIRIUS tuner supports Music Alerts, you can get alerted when your favorite songs or artists are being broadcast. With the push of a button, you can jump right to that broadcast and catch the songs you want to listen to.
- Instant Replay: If your portable plug-and-play SIRIUS tuner supports the Instant Replay function, you can pause, rewind, and replay live broadcasts for up to 44 minutes from your compatible Alpine Ai-Net headunit. This way you can listen to your favorite programming again at your convenience.
- Game Alert: Your Ai-Net Alpine head-unit will be able to display a text message if your favorite teams' games are being broadcast. You can jump to that broadcast with the push of a button so you can listen to your game play-by-play. You can also get the latest score updates while you listen to other broadcasts.
Mounting: The hide-away interface features built-in flanges and comes with four self-tapping screws to secure the unit to a flat surface of your vehicle. The power harness provided is 3' long while the Ai-Net cable is 8' long, so keep that in mind when selecting a location for the module.
