Bob,



Thanks for the info! now i don't have to spend a lot of money for an aftermarket car stereo system and can spend more money on waxes and polishes! :buffing:



*UPDATE* i just ordered it. i'll most likely get it next week some time. :clap:

Reid,



Found another option that just may work for you. Is your Mach 460 one of the Sirius ready units? If so, you can get an XM tuner that will fool the head unit into thinking XM is Sirius and it will allow display and control from your stock head unit. This looks to be the most seamless and factory looking way to get XM in your '04 Mach 460 head unit.

I have it on my rear deck, double taped hidden in the corner. I live in the DC area with plenty of repeaters. Only problem is in wooded areas in the summer but it almost never goes out.

I have the wired FM modulator from delphi installed inside the dash because I kept getting interference from regular radio stations. Now , the modulator cuts off my radio antenna when I turn on XM, and the interference is gone.

The car is 03 camry.

"I did some searching around on the output problem you mention. I just found out that the Delphi SkyFi2 has the ability to adjust the ouput for situations just as you mention. You can adjust the output through the software on the unit so this shouldn't be a problem for me" - rjstaaf



The XM Commander has the same ability to adjust output, but even at the lowest setting it was still far too high with the PIE plug. Hope you have better luck with the SkyFi

I have XM in the shop - can't live without it!



I have a car adaptor for my 92 Miata.



1. The antenna is mounted *in* the driver's headrest, under the leather. it works quite well with and without the soft and hard tops.

2. I use an FM tranciever. My Ipod can just plug right in!



Kinda cool!

You're really going to enjoy Sat radio, I don't know why it took me so long to get it :)



I've also got a PIE unit in my car (and an AUX3 so I can have Sat, ipod and bluetooth all hooked up to the AUX) and you will notice a difference compared to a FM hookup.



Enjoy :)
