Presets store fine and are persistent as long as you connect the yellow lead to the always on power and not accessory power (the bus takes care of switching the unit on and off, so the power must be always on to save your presets), but the presets don't display station names, so you have to remember what preset is what station. The weakness is the inability to save the station name with the preset. If station IDs displayed, I'd give it 5 stars. The receiver does a great job of working with the Sirius SCC1 and pulling in stations for playback on my Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT. Connection is easy and sound is great. I'm not sure if this limitation is directly related to the supported head units or the CD-SB10, but I know the HD Radio tuner I use with my head unit does the same thing (stores presets but does not display the station IDs).
This item is required, and my Best Buy installer put it in with no problems. Together they work seamlessly and invisibly with my new head unit and provide me with great satellite sound (except when we're under trees). I just got a new Pioneer car stereo and wanted satellite radio. The installation also requires the Sirius Connect tuner SC-C1.
Was the wrong Bus Interface, but that wasn't the vendors fault - it was Pioneers. Quick shipping. After some extensive rewiring and notifying Pioneer of their mistake, and sending them pictures of the fix (they've now promised to fix the problem) it works splendidly.
