Blitz Safe Adapter: It bypasses the RF modulation part of the Pioneer
gex-fm903 and hooks right into the cd changer input on the radio. Uhm.... if you
guys are wondering how you acess it you hit the cd button twice. Yellow wire
hooks in to the 13 pin data cable that is in the trunk if you have a cd changer
there. If not, then you must buy a cable from audi.... I'm getting the part
number this week. The blitzsafe adapter also give the box power, accessory,
ground and it hooks into IP-BUS out on the xm box.... so once I get it running
I'll let you guys know.

Is the ash tray your custom mod or is that some kit? Does the ash tray lid close?

ok the thing in the ashtray is just the controller for the xm radio... the controller has one wire going to it, which runs to the box in the trunk. Notice my actual silver ashtray is gone... it just pops right out... So in the bottom of when is there after you take it out the guys drilled a small hole to run the wire. They ran the wire back behind the glovebox... any other questions?
