I have a single CD player with the Aux audio button. I purchased a PIE connector so I could use my Sirius with the aux button. It's was easy to connect and the sound is much better than the FM modulator. I have it set up to play my Ipod as well.

Guys, sorry for the late response. My old Pentium III crashed and I had to go get a new one. A lot faster than the old one! The link for the Web Site is http://www.pie.net/ The unit was not hard to install and I was able to run the wires through the side of the radio to the front with no problem. Let me know if this helps. Sorry for the delay.

Also, here is the link for the bracket that I have for my Sirius radio. http://www.pro-fit-intl.com/ Click under the VSM mounts and they are specifically made for each vehicle. The nice thing is that you don't have to drill holes for the mount. It attaches by one of the screws that holds in the radio. It gives a clean look when finished.
