Satellite Radio Question about wiring to CD Player
So I installed sirius satellite radio in my car. Its the Sirius Visor unit that you just stick somewhere on your dash and looks like a radar detector. Right now its sending the satellite signal to a radio station that I choose and playing it through my radio. Problem is it results in a crappy audio quality. Does anyone know what I would need to do to wire it to my pioneer cd player so it won't have to go through a radio station? I called a car audio place and they said they could do it for like $80 total but wouldn't tell me how. I can see an input that says "audio" on the satellite unit which I can only assume is an audio out. Anyone know?

What model Pioneer HU do you have?? What you can do is pick up the FM Direct Adapter from XM, it works fine with all the Sirius units except the S50. Pull your radio out and follow the instructions, it's cake. That's what a shop would most likely do.

if your HU has an AUX input you can use an RCA y adapter and just plug into the headfone Jack on the sat radio, or the peice i believe the other guy is talking about is basicly a peict that goes inbetween the stock antenna and the headunit which forces a signal to the headunit instead if sending it wirelessly. there an easy install all they take is a power and ground
