I have an '07 LX and the standard radio that came with it. Does anyone know if it is possible to plug a Sirius radio into the back with the aux plugs? The FM function on the Sirius isn't that great.

Thanks.

I have a sirius radio and use the wired FM modulator. I It's the best option. Leaves the aux open for the ipod

depending on what model radio you have and when you got it, go to www.sirius.com/optimize and you may be eligible for them to send you a free direct connection kit. You can choose from a few different options. I have mine connected via the AUX/line in and if you don't have the right cable, they will send you a 6 foot cable for free! Check it out because the RF transmitter built into the unit cannot effectively "shut off" your antenna so it will always be competing with signals in the area. My old car I could just put the antenna down and outside signals didn't matter. Good luck.

*sidenote* if you do end up doing the direct connect to the aux, I would reccomend turning the RF transmitter in the unit OFF. Mine got pretty hot and shutting off the RF (since I was not using it) helped that a lot.
