Default sirius radio, how do you hook it up?

I'm not positive with Sirius but with XM you can use the Tape player to feed the signal. It's that fake cassette deal... but of course he must have a cassette player in his car and I don't know anyone that has one of those anymore.

I beleive he does have a cassete; but preferable if he didnt have any wires heh. I know what your tlakin about; I used to have that back a few years ago before cars had CD players standard.(holy crap thats the first time I could say something like that...*jumps off a cliff and laughs at those that remember 8 tracks*)

Ares, You might want to look at http://www.pac-audio.com/ I don't know if they have a solution for you but worth a shot. They make AUX connectors for alot of different cars. I used one in my Z and it's perfect.

That would be your other option is to go thru an Aux input if the radio handles it. Not all units have the Aux outputs tho.

Just to clarify. The PAC creates 2 AUX inputs on head units that do not have them.
