    I just bought an Onyx Sirus Unit but I have a stock stereo with no aux jacks. I have serached and found other threads with 10 different people saying 10 different things. What do I need to get this installed right? I have no "AM/SAT" button.

    You can do it through the FM transmitter....it kinda sucks....I bought a USA spec adapter to run my Sirius and my Ipod touch.....works like a charm and installs in 30 minutes.

    Save the money you might spend on adapters and do a head unit upgrade that has an AUX jack. You'll be glad you did.

    If you shop around on the net, you should be able to do a nice HU upgrade for $250.

    IMO the stock HU is garbage, and no matter what you do add things on, the sound quality will still suck. :cool:

    x2. I listen to my sirius radio through an aux jack. I used to have it through the fm transmitter but it was not that great.
