Ok I am not a fan of Sirus Radio so I have XM. I am wondering how do I pull the stack unit out to connect into that Antenna for the XM radio. I just bought the car Sunday July 1. I am very happy at the moment. I have hooked the XM in thru the Media port but I am getting resistor noise though that port. So can someone help me with either how to get this out or how to get to the antenna to do the dirct connect.


Thanks guys and gals for all your help. I did alot of reading here last night and thanks for the get info so far.

You need a ground loop isolator inline with the audio cable going to the ACI to eliminate the alternator whine you´re getting. Crutchfield sells a 3.5 to 3.5mm GLI for about $17, or you can get a RCA to RCA one for about $12 at radio shack. You will still need to get adapters for 3.5 to RCA if you get the rat shack one though.
