I'll probably get flame-roasted for suggesting this in-elegant solution, but I still use the "cassette adaptor" provided in my Delphi (XM) car kit. It's an extra wire snaking around the dash, and I'm sure the audiophiles don't approve its fidelity, but it's a cheap interim solution. It also leaves the FM mode available if I'm around stations that I'm familiar with.
The FM modulator is a PITA if you're travelling long distances, since you're constantly searching for a clear frequency as you encounter interference from local FM broadcast.

yeah it happened to fit perfectly. I just routed the wires through the headliner, down the window frame and under the dash, have the power just pluged into the outlet in front of the shifter. Pretty easy and just happen to fit perfectly on top of the RVM.

1. Use the FM modulator -- supposedly lousy sound quality but I'm really not sure about the quality of satellite sound anyway, which is supposed to be similar to mp3's.
2.AuxMod is a small unit hooking up to the cassette connector of your HU, it has aux. audio inputs and you select Sirius by pressing "TAPE" on the HU.
3. PIE adapter hooks up to the back of the HU where the CD changer attaches and has an aux.audio input, you select it by pressing the "CD" button to switch between CD and PIE adapter.
The last two will give you full bandwidth input to the HU and you can also use them to connect other devices like mp3 players or Bluetooth. The down side is that the HU has to be removed for #2 & 3, which can be a pain and risks damaging the unit.
I guess you can start by using the FM modulator built into the Sat radio, maybe that is all you'll want.
Good luck
