Help with Sirius

The one I have in my Visor is very good, but I have an aftermarket iPod interface that also gives me an extra aux-in jack (right and left RCA jacks, actually).

What are you driving? Does it have an aux-in jack? Give me enough info and I can punch it into the Crutchfield database.

 

So you just put the antenna in the sun visor, drop the cord down to the radio and plug it into the Aux jack?


I have an 07 Focus, but not sure if there's an Aux jack or not. I don't have a cassette player, so I'd definitely have to use the Aux jack.

 

Won't work. Satellite radio signals (and TV signals, and GPS signals) require that the antenna have a clear "look" at the sky.

 

I have just put the antenna on the dash in two different cars and never had a problem. My dad does the same thing with his.

I've never liked the sound quality of an FM modulator, though. I used to use a cassette adapter instead. Now I have XM built in so it's not an issue.

 

I'll help. Get XM. Much better than Sirius, IMHO.

 

Musically, I'm much more impressed with Sirius' music mix than I was with XM.

 

I am have sirius because it came with the car, but really wish I had XM instead....better music, better sports.

 

Bought Sirius largely for NFL Sunday Drive, but hardly ever used it for that. And with XM factory-installed in the new buggy, the Sportster is gathering dust here in the house.

Never had an issue with the antenna-on-the-dashboard trick. Previous car didn't have either an aux jack or a cassette player, so FM was the only way to go. Not studio-quality sound, but good enough for my purposes.

 

I misread your one statement when you mentioned Visor. Thought you were referring to the sun visor in your car.

 

Nope ... Visor is the model name (no longer made by that manufacturer, and I got it at a huge discount this time a year ago).

 

So let me make sure I understand this:

I can buy an antenna, an on-the-go satellite player and a doodah that runs the signal to my casette player? And that's it? It'll sound good? And work good?

 

Along those same lines, for people without a cassette player:

I could buy an antenna, an on the go satellite player, which would hook into my aux in jack and it would work ok?
