You have to get a receiver and antenna that hooks up with your system via FM modulation. Although, somebody (tanman maybe?) said that you can use the wires from your disk changer if you have one instead. Just do a search for satellite radio - I posted some info a few weeks back.

BTW, I don't have pictures yet of my install as my parents borrowed my camera over Thansgiving and I won't see them till next week.

Putting XM through an FM Modulator kinda defeats the purpose. It's like taking a shower and putting on the same underware. I would look into the disk changer wire thing.

well, not really.. if you find a clean open FM channel and its a good modulator, then you wont miss much. XM and Sirius are only marginally better than a good clean FM station. They arent CD quality... more like 128K mp3. but hey, I cant live without it now.
