In dash satellite radio question

[Cloudsurfer]

If you care at all about sound quality you are not going to want to use an FM Modulator. No matter how good the unit and the install, its a significant compromise versus "doing it right."

The factory Porsche radio really isn't anything great, so why not just upgrade to a newer, aftermarket radio that has XM or Serrius capability?

The FM modulator relay actually works really well. When the Sirius unit is on, it block the normal antenna signal and injects it's own signal into the radio. When the Sirius unit is off, it allows the antenna to receive terrestrial signals.

I tried to use the output on the Sirius unit to interface with the CD changer inputs on the factory radio. Unfortunately, the CDR-23 uses the fiber optic connection for the CD changer. If you have a CR/CDR-220 and want to use the CD changer input, I have the connection kit here I am will to get rid of.

Tamarsha,

Your setup is exactly what I think I'm looking for.

However, if putting an XM/Sirrus ready head unit in to replace the factory one will still get me access to satellite radio, then that seems like a great option too.

Thierry,

Thanks for posting your setup. I just don't need my satellite radio to be portable.

I appreciate all the feedback from everyone.
