Default SkyFi XM Install

Hi..
I've installed my SkyFi and it looks great... It sounds pretty good too - I'm using the casette adaptor.

However, it does produce some hiss I'd like to eliminate.

Is there any way to hardwire this to the stock Concert headunit? I think I read that you can replace your CD's input with the SkyFi, but I don't know what's required.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Default I'm going out after work today to try to track down the parts locally to build an adapter...

This will be going to a Symphony head unit, but the idea ought to be similar...

The biggest problem I've got with the SkyFi is that they don't sell a hard-wired power cable for the damn thing, the only way to do it is to build your own 12v->6v adapter and cable or to buy the RF modulator which has it built in.

I'm going to build a single box with the voltage regulator and a DPDT relay to switch between the line input from the CD changer and an aux input for the XM.

Where'd you mount yours on the dash?
