Anyone know what is the best way to get satellite radio in your crossfire?

 

Get a new headunit.

 

Open driver side door toss in Satellite Radio, slam door and run....
I'm sorry I just could not help myself....

 

I'm sorry I'll elaborate. There isn't really an effective way to put satellite radio without changing out your headunit. Do you have the NAV? Or non nav unit?

You could use one of those FM transmitters, but quite frankly the quality is SHITTY and it will be annoying after a while.

Spend a little bit of money, get a QUALITY headunit that looks nice, and you're sound will be better anyways.

 

I have a portable MyFi for XM. I liked the idea I can take it with me (it has a record feature to listen to playback)

Because it is portable I have been able to use it with multiple cars. Yes it uses FM transmition to the stock radio, and the reception can be poor at times. In all honesty some of the rental cars I have used with the sat radion built in have also had reception and sound issues due to atmospherics.

At some point I will probably trade out the head unit (already replaced the NAV part with a Tom Tom that is far more up to date, has North America and Europe maps (I am going to take it with me on an extended vacation in Italy and France this summer).

 

I used the the XM radio modulator antenna adapter. It's mounted between the the OEM radio antenna and the XM antenna and tune it to the lowest clean channel.
In addition I mounted the XM (Roady) inside the glove box leaving conduit long enough to be removed by driver to tune another station if needed. We primarily listen to 2 stations.
It sounds great, out of sight and with the exception of the XM antenna, laying neat on right side dash, you would not know it's there.
PS. You will need an a european antenna adapters as in addition. Crutchfileds supplied all my junk here, ask them and they will forward the all the requirements. If you use the Scorce it will adapt to any other head phone jack input.

Good Luck
