justinstewartstl Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Hey everyone! On Monday my fiance' purchased a 2008, white Edge SEL, w/black leather. What a cool car! She had been leasing a 2005 black Acura MDX. I washed both of them yesterday since we just had a snow storm, and we were going to turn in the MDX. Having a white car is gonna really be nice! I really didn't notice just how dirty the Edge was till I was washing it and then could actually see the dirt coming off. I defiantly recommend the new White, or "Sand" as it is being called. I had the front 2 windows tinted to match and WOW what a difference that has made. It is really turning some heads. Now my question. I want to hook up XM Satellite radio to my factory "SAT capable" radio. The dealer said that they could do it with a module and wiring harness for around $450! I don't want an add on device that would mount to the dash and therefore would not be able to control via the steering wheel controls. And I also want the most direct connection for the best sound, NOT through the FM receiver. Do you think that this could be done for less at a Best Buy or Circuit City without them messing up my SYNC? Has anyone dealt with this issue? I'm really excited about the SYNC capabilities, and the phone reception is stunning on both ends of the conversation. I'd really appreciate your suggestions. Happy driving!

vino125 Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) These are instructions on how to connect a Sirius receiver, but I do it with an XM Roady2 with no problems. I just sit the antenna in the little box at the end of the console, plug the aux line and the power into the adapters in the armrest box, and set your Edge radio to Aux In (which is after the am/fm/Sirius options). ________________________________________________________________________ BEST - DIRECT WIRED CONNECTION VIA "AUX IN" OR "LINE IN" INPUT for best audio performance and easiest installation. Purchase an audio cable that matches the connection type of your car radio and your SIRIUS radio at your local electronics retailer (your SIRIUS radio requires a 1/8" stereo male connector). Male on both ends. Plug one end of the cable into the "AUDIO OUT" or "LINE OUT" jack on your SIRIUS radio. Plug the other end into your "AUX IN" or "LINE IN" jack on your car radio. Turn the FM transmitter of your SIRIUS radio OFF. ________________________________________________________________________ The cable might run you a few dollars...much cheaper than having Best Buy messing around with your radio Edited March 7, 2008 by vino125 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
