Ways to Connect Your Satellite Radio in Your Vehicle

Wireless: If you are purchasing Sirus or XM satellite radios to add to an existing stereo system in your vehicle, it will come with a wireless FM transmitter built inside. Older models sold in 2009 and before often had signal strength problems due to their wireless transmitters not being strong enough to give good reception. They often require additional parts like wired FM Transmitters installed behind the car radio. However the current generation of add-on ”dock & play” satellite radios being sold now use a new technology they call PowerConnect which enables good signal strength just by hooking the satellite radio up to vehicle power. The satellite signal is seen by your car radio as another “radio station” which you set to one of your push-buttons or memory locations.

Auxiliary signal input: For the very best satellite radio reception with the strongest and cleanest signal, you will want to use an auxiliary input. This is the best way to receive the satellite signal. This requires the vehicle radio to already have an auxiliary input. Most aftermarket radios sold within the last two years have auxiliary inputs as do many factory radios in some models of newer vehicles (like the Ford Sync system).

If you have an aftermarket car radio that is satellite ready like our Kenwood, Pioneer, Clarion, etc., and you want the satellite radio to be hidden and have the satellite radio information to appear automatically on your car radio display, you must purchase the XM or Sirius direct connect tuners which we sell (pictured above), and have them installed along with the brand specific interface cable that interconnects the satellite radio to the back of the brand name car stereo. We carry these cables in stock. When you add the satellite radio option to our in dash Video & Navigation radios, these radios have touch screen control of the satellite radio functions and will show all the satellite radio information on the radio’s video screen – the satellite radio station, Artist, Album, Selection, etc.

If your car stereo does not have a universal auxiliary audio input and you want the very best reception, you can simply replace the car radio. Buy a new car stereo from us today, we will install it while you wait and install the satellite radio the best way, through the auxiliary input.
