You can get an auxiliary input adapter from Blitzsafe. I do not recommend an FM modulator

Default I put the Kenwood Sirius system in with the FM Modulator with absolutely NO problems at all.

Sound is great.

Blitzsafe does carry the adapter but you have to order it directly from them. I was quoted $108 (includes shipping) from the sales person on the phone.

Try the FM Modulator route and if it sounds bad to you then buy the Blitzsafe adaptor. The only drawback to this is that you have to buy the two antenna adaptors to hook up the FM Modulator (total cost around $30).

Default You can re-pin the stock deck for RCA directly out, I did it a year ago works great.

From deck the RCA's run into a line level convertor to bump the signal and then to the amp. Took a while to remove the pins on the stock wiring harness but not a difficult job at all.

Dunno, but that is the price quoted on the phone by the Blitzsafe salesman.
