Question about Sirius satellite radio - adding my unit

[Purp1eOne]

I have a unit that I can take in and out of my car and I have a lifetime membership. I don't want to burn one of my three radios you get with the lifetime membership() and would like to hook it up in the new 14 Sport I am getting.

I think I can take the audio output of the unit and find an input (aux input?) but does anyone know how hard it would be to get to the satellite antenna?

I think that perhaps the best way to do it is to try and tap into the antenna lead that goes to the OEM radio.
Other members may have a better solution. That OEM antenna has the satellite antenna built into the base.

Since the Sport comes with the RCA audio inputs, you should be able to plug the audio into that.

As to whether or not the satellite radio signal from the stock antenna is compatible with the antenna used by your add-on unit, I don't know. You might want to find someone with factory satellite radio and give it a go and see if it works.

I contacted Sirius to see if they can shed any light.
