How do you connect up the modules to the radio?

I may not be very fussy but I have not had any sound qaulity issues since switching from the fm output of the satellite radio to using the antenna output to an external switcher. If you used PAC, it has two aux inputs so you could connect each of your satellite radios.

I bought the module that goes into the trunk and connects to the standard satelite harness. Its very easy to swap them, u simply unplug one and plug the other one in but it gets really old when u have to do it everyday. It sounds like crap because sirus has crappy compression method. I have a very high end audio system in my car and it really brings out the compression artifacts in sirus.

buy an aftermarket head unit that supports both services and do it that way..
