Default Sirius radio
Was just given a Sirius radio as a gift. Is there any way to direct connect the sattelite reciever directly though the A4 OEM Bose system (perhaps through the CD changer)? As it is, the radio-wave "hook up" that I'm using has too much static to make it enjoyable to listen to.

Thanks again,

Marc

Default You could get an FM modulator
It'll still play through the radio but its hard wired<ul><li><a href="http://www.crutchfield.com/S-ckMDEWYNdwl/cgi-bin/prodsearch.asp?sp=lnav&amp;cm_re_o=TkB_zkEzM*kwufE zM*lwzygt&amp;search=fm+modulator&amp;go.x=0&amp;g o.y=0">click me here</a></li></ul>

Default Very easy...
look at the blitzsafe adapters www.enfig.com sells them

You can either buy a generic audio input with two RCA cable inputs, or you can buy a Sirius radio specific adapter that will also provide triggered power to specific Sirius Radio.

I have this in my R32.

I have no experience with either the FM modulator or the Blitzsafe. I'll take your word for it

Unless your car has a Delta Radio (96-98.5) in that case you are SOL.

Default Yep, this the way to go. I have my XM wired through my CD Changer
Gets power from it also. Real easy plug and play.

Default Ditto... I have my XM this way... Excellent Quality.
Then again, he's got sirius... which has such crappy SQ, using the FM mod is probably okay.
