Hey gang,

I just received my Sirius Audiovox plug n play 2 unit with cradle and attempted to save $75 by installing it myself. However, since I am severely mechanically-challenged I was not able to get audio through the unit. I’ve read on this board about plugging in the unit using an auxiliary cable. Can anyone tell me exactly which aux cable I need to get (maybe a link?) or any pictures of the installation process? Thanks for any help.

Paul - if you have the Element EX than you should have an auxillary jack on the passenger side dash board. Do you have that?

If yes, then head over to radio shack or any electronics store. Find yourself a 1/8" to 1/8" patch cord. Plug one end into the Sirius Unit, plug the other end into the E's AUX jack.

Something like this:

And just to confirm...be sure the cable is a STEREO cable, not mono. The plug will have two rings on it instead of one.

If you don't have an AUX jack in your E, it gets more complex.

Thanks guys! Went over to Radio Shack, got the 1/8" to 1/8" stereo patch cord and presto - I have audio! Way too cool. Thanks agian.
