I have an 04 RX8 which does not come equipped with an Aux port (that i can find) and I heard there was a kit that can hook up to the back of the CD player that disables the CD player but enables an Aux port for mp3, iPod, etc...

I am looking to hardwire in my new Sirius Satelite Radio and it needs an aux port to do so. Is getting this kit the only way I can do this, or is there any other kits that can use the tape/MD player (as I dont have either, and would be perfect to use that audio input if there is a kit that can hook up to it instead of the CD player input)

I am trying to avoid using the FM transmitter to run the satelite radio if at all possible

If anyone has any suggestions or methods they know work, that would be great, thanks

 

I use a FM modulator that plugs directly into the antenna port on the back of the radio for my satellite and it works fine. I also have the factory IPOD adapter that plugs into the rear of the deck. The CD thing just seems dumb to me and will burn up your cd player eventually.

Is this what you are talking about?

 

so you have aux input and ipod connections both available? where did you get that aux input unit from? i have the mazda ipod integration hooked up to the cd changer port on the back of the radio, i would ultimately like to have both functions available to me but im not sure its possible

 

No my ipod adapter goes into the cd changer port and my satellite goes directly into the antenna port via the adapter but it just make the normal interference you get from FM adapters disappear.

 

i see what you mean now..does that connection hook for the aux input hook up to am/fm antenna source or is it strictly for sat radio antenna (my car is does not sat radio)

 

I have the Sirius Stiletto. Sorry for misspelling, I did it in like two seconds and I suck at typing

 

nice, just what im looking for then..i want to use it for my driod so i can play pandora radio..once you plug in the aux input source does it automatically start playing? where did you purchase yours?

 

I got mine direct from sirius but I think its a mini jack not a standard head phone one.

 

interesting i wonder if it will still work on my droid phone, if not maybe there is a adapter that can be used, how is the sound quality with that connection? comparasion with a cd?

 

The sound quality is pretty good to me. Not what my ipod is but still good. Honestly I mainly listen to talk on my Sirius.
