Does anyone know definitely how the 500 Shaker can be adapted to Sirus or XM radio??
I have this now on my 330 coupe and it's FANTASTIC, once you hear it for $10/mo you'll never listen to regualar/non satellite again.............has over 100 music styles, commercial free, 24 hr sports, news, weather, traffic etc. Anyway, I believe the Shaker would need to have a Satallite button, and if so then a prewired adapter and the tuner is required, again a bit fuzzy, sorry. What's the deal with the 05 stang??

Well, we know there isn't a SAT button on the head unit, but there is an AUX button. I have no clue beyond that, but I'm sure someone else does.
By the way, how does your bill come? Is it a monthly bill, or can you pay for 6 or 12 months beforehand? I want to get it, but don't know if I want to handle another bill. :notnice:

$9.99 a month for the first, $6,99 for the second.
If you have an aux button, you hook a fm modulator through it on the back of the stereo then the modulator to the xm unit. The Roady 2 has a built in modulator. Roady and skyfi do not.

I have XM in my truck and it is the best $10 i could have spent. If you spend anytime at all in your vehicle then try it out for sure.
The antenna can be placed on the dash inside the vehicle under most terrain conditions and it works fine. In the city around tall buildings, it might cut out on you.
You can hook it up a couple of ways to your radio. Use the cassette adapter or plug the output cable inline with your radio antenna at the back of your radio. Tune to any one of about 8 frequencies at the low end of the FM dial. Select one that is clear in your area. AM reception isn't real good with the inline hookup method, but I don't listen to AM much anymore.

You get the best reception with the antenna on the roof....but it doesn't look that bad if you buy the xm micro antenna...it's really small...just a little over and inch long. You also don't have to use adhesive to attach which I think is bad for your paint...it's magnatized and has has little feet underneath to maximize ventilation. Check it out:

I don't know what the heck companies like audi are thinking with thier huge antennas....they are totally unnessary...

Thanks to all that contributed their advise B) . However, does one need the rather unpleasant looking Delphi or like unit shown in ElenorsMine pix?????.............this would be UNACCEPTABLE for a new car, in my opinion...............would rather buy an entirely new radio w satallite than use this stick on radio, no offense meant.
PLS REPLY............thanks as always.

It is "unpleasant" looking because I half hineyed it. I knew this car was not living with me forever, and I wasn't sending my Sky fi to car hades with it.....NO offense meant, but taken anyhow. I don't appreciate it. Personal attacks are not funny to me, and I do take PLENTY of offense to it.
FYI I purchased a "stick on unit"
because It comes out and goes into my house when I am done in the car. I already have a real XM in my other vehicle, and it does not come out. Second, Why am I going to spend four fortunes on a car stereo on a car I do not intend to keep for very long? It has no modulator on it, well............BECAUSE I was not buying a new stereo for that vehicle to get one.
Thanks again, "no offense meant" but you just made my day.
