satellite radio install
i have a 2006 civic sedan w/ navi on order and want to have satellite radio. i have a sirius radio in my car now and love it. i know that the navigation unit is xm ready, but i don't want to pay the $700+ the dealer wants to buy and install it.
my question: is there any way to install an aftermarket sirius or xm receiver directly into the "xm ready" input on the back of the navigation unit? i know that i could install my current receiver into tha aux jack, but i wanted to have the clean look of controlling everything through the navigation screen. i've seen other forums that say you can buy a sirius receiver with an adapter to plug into an "xm ready" input on GM vehicles, nothing on Honda though. is it possible?

RE: satellite radio install
you can mount it anywhere you want. I just highly recommend getting the FM Direct Adapter so you dont get any static through the weak a$s fm modulator it comes with

RE: satellite radio install
Best bet is to get one of the adapters that plugs into the aux on the back of your receiver and splits it into 2 RCA jacks.
I have XM installed in my car, there are no wires shown at all. You only see the wires for about 2 inches where it comes out of the radio and thats it. All the wires are hidden and it's cleanly installed. Unfortunately the glue let go once, so I gluged it with super glue.
I'll take some pictures tomorrow.
