We're still nursing our Pioneer AVH P6400CD unit along. (The 10 MultiDisc makes mechanical noise, but no longer shuffles the CD's, and worst - will not eject, and we've 10 CD's buried inside (For now!)).
One of the key things holding me back from making a change to the 6400, is we don't want to lose the free Sirius we have. (I believe it left CC with a lifetime subscription? Or, somehow it's fallen thru the cracks, as 9 years of usage on our part, zero costs.... And that's a good bottle or two of vino a month, if I have to actually buy a subscription!).
I've had some people say yes they can find a replacement Pioneer that will work with our Sirius unit, and others that say 'nope' - new stuff is not compatible with the older stuff. And when I press the few that have said they can swap it out for specifics on which units to choose from - well, they seem to not get back with me:)!
We're in Oregon for several months this year, and I'm going to have Advanced Satellite out of Junction City help me with some other electronic refinement. I've asked them to please research a bit more for me on this, so if I get lucky, I'll post an update. (Will be a few months before we do anything, but I've started to ask around again.)
We have BluTooth feed to our Marantz/Oppo components, and stream Pandora or Spotify while traveling for most of our music. (We have both of our phones loaded up with lots of Off Line downloads, so works well when out of coverage range.) Whoever is in Shotgun position, controls the music and volume via our phone apps, so that's been working out well. (We have all, BUT 10, of our CD's ripped to a Hard Drive NAS which is CAT5 connected to the Oppo for the majority of our serious listening music. (The Oppo BDP-95, has dual DAC's. 1) For Surround Sound (Which we removed from our coach, for now.); 2) Dedicated HiFi, which is what we listen to. For a combo CD/DVD/BlueRay Disc and DAC all in one unit - the BDP-95 in our system has become a pretty neat Swiss Army Knife component. (Looked into upgrading to the BDP-105, which is another level above - and frankly at it's new and now used price point - an overachiever for sure. But the Hifi Audio was and DAC's were path wise very similar to the BDP-95. A better power supply division within the unit, as well as better chips for the video format. But on a 40" TV, it's all overkill. (I have the BDP105 Darby in our home setup, and it was a nice refinement above the BDP-83 it replaced.)

And yeah, I went on again:)! I continue to read threads on replacing the p6400 unit, as sooner or later it will need to be replaced. And if it were not for the thrifty guard of my wallet from not wanting to lose the free Sirius, which we do listen too a few delays and concerts and sports, etc. - I'd have done so by now!
Anyone every find a replacement unit that works with the Sirius/XM side module of this system - please share what it was:)!
Best to all, may the sound be with you (Got Tubes?),
