Sirius Stratus connection
 
I've searched the forums but haven't found what I'm looking for ...

I have a Sirius Stratus radio and am currently using the FM transmit function to listen to it over the car apeakers. As I travel, this requires me to change the FM frequency often ... What I'd like to do is leverage the ability to hard-wire the Stratus directly to the radio, either through the antennae input (using an FM modulator), or other

For the antennae input, since the RX-8 does not use the RCA-type antennae plug, I would need pointers to where I can find the parts to do this.

My radio also has selector buttons for Satellite and Tape, even though the car has no hardware for either. Can these be used in some fashion to connect the Stratus to the car radio system?

I have a 2007 RX-8 ...

Any help would be appreciated!

6th section of the 2nd post.

In short, you can just buy the FM modulator and have it sit inline your antenna wire (GREATLY improves sound quality), or you can purchase one of the many iPod/MP3/AUX input modules (which are listed at the end of 1st post) and just use the Stratus's 3.5mm headphone jack to transfer the audio. More expensive, but would give you the option to play your iPod/MP3 player too. Option #1 ~ $25-30. Option #2 ~ $90-180.
