If your vehicle radio has an "AUX-IN" or "LINE IN" input, you can connect the audio from your SIRIUS radio directly to your vehicle's FM radio. Using a direct audio connection provides the best possible audio quality from your SIRIUS radio.
There are two possible types of connectors used for a direct audio connection to vehicle radios: a mini-type connector, or RCA-type connectors. The SIRIUS Direct Wired Connection Kit has audio cables for both types of connectors. You will only need to use one of these cables depending upon which type of connector is on your vehicle radio.
The location of the "AUX IN" or "LINE IN" connector in the car radio varies from car to car. Consult the manual which accompanied your vehicle, or the manual which came with your vehicle radio to determine which cable is appropriate for your vehicle radio.
Some common locations for the mini-type connector are:
The most common location for RCA-type connectors is the back of the radio, either on the radio or in the radio wiring harness.
