Default Attn: Blitzsafe XM RADIO people, need urgent help

I was in the middle of installing the stuff, but after looking it over the blitzsafe adapter I got is the right one. The problem is the XM box is in the back, and this adapter requires you to connect into the back of the radio, but also connect it the XM box. Well how the heck amd I suppose to do this with 1 ft of wire they supplied? LOL! Any ideas or help would be greatly apperciated.

Default Questions for you:

1) What is the blitzsafe part number?
2) Is it as simple as plugging the blitzsafe in to the back of the stereo, then running the IP bus line from the XM unit to the blitzsafe?

Thanks in advance!

Default Answers for you...

1) AUDI/XM DMX P101A pn# if you have a 2002-2003 model.

2) Yes, but you need an extension obviously which I have gotten stuck on. I am now in search for a extension for the IP BUS which wasn't mentioned really in anyones installs.

Default The cable they supply needs to connect into the XM brain and the stock radio

Not long enough to reach both.
