hey i have a new sony headunit, and i got an XM install kit, and i wanted to be able to use My mp3 player with the Aux in, but i found out that the xm uses the AUX input so with my new headunit i cannot do what i want. does anyone know any headunits that allow to use both? does sirus use RCA inputs to plug into the head unit?

 

Pioneer, although they both would have to be through IP-BUS cable, which you would have to convert to RCA then microjack for the mp3 player. The CD-RB10 and CD-RB20 are the IP-BUS to aux-in adapters for Pioneer, and it depends on your Pioneer sat radio tuner box for what youll need. The ipod integration box from pioneer gives you the ipod plug, plus another IP-BUS input, and so does the Sirius tuner box for Pioneer. But the orange/black Terk Pioneer XM tuner boxes (which is what I assume you have for Sony) wont give you an additional input as you already know.

Don might chime in for Eclipse units, and although I have an Eclipse deck in my car, I dont stay very current with their stuff. Working at circuit city does that to ya.

 

how much does that cost because the sony one has a box that gives me two bus and two aux imputs but its pretty expensive like 200 bux or something

 

If 200 bucks is a lot for a deck for you, I feel bad for your car stereo

 

200?

ECLIPSE cd5425

best one u'll get...return that blowme...i mean sony stereo

 

no i paid 200 for the head unit but its like 200 more for the switch thinngy

 

return it

get the eclipse

and get the aux wire for eclipse and u'll be good to go

 

What did you end up getting?

 

i still have the sony in my sitting doing nothing, im just gonna install it and then when i get more money im gonna get a flip out dvd screen thingy
