Okay I have actually just completed this today!

Ready here ya go:

1. Go to radio shack and get a 12v Cigarette Lighter Power source. They are only 7.99 plus tax here In Ga.

2. Go and find a spot under the dash taht you can get to a little easy for it to mount.

I don't know how your dash but on the 99+ I put mine in teh shifter console (manual tranny). Find a good switched 12v power source (power only when key is on) and a good ground. That is all.

Thanks. What power source did you use? I was considering using the 3A add a chip fuse but needed someinfo on where to get and what slot to use. Did you hear about that?

No never heard of that. I suggest if you have a dummy plug just sitting there tie into that for your power. Then find a green bolt/nut for that is a factory ground to run the other wire too.

Well i have had an aftermarket radio for a while. I have an aux in on the aftermarket head unit and I got the wire for it for 1/8mm jack for mp3 player hookup. I think added a 1.8mm jack to my cup holder so that i have no big wires hanging around when I am not using the mp3 player.

So basically i am goign to be adding another 1/8mm jack to the aux input to play the sat radio via the car without the FM modulation. You loose alot of stuff with that.

I wired my electricity into the power wires than run to the 12v plug in the center console. But I have the Sirius Connect Universal FM Modulator Satellite Radio Tuner, so it is not FM Modulated.

So my projects are done for a while. I unplugged the power to the cigerette lighter in the center console and plugged a new one into it hidden with the power attatched for sirius. I didn't want to cut any wires or splice anything so this worked great for me and is completely hidden under the e brake area. I can't find the fm modulator anywhere. It's sold out online aswell. That will be the next purchase I make though.
