Satellite Radio Question - Diesel Forum

farmtruck · 08-15-2008, 09:08 PM

Just got my new used F-450 CC XLT 4X4 work truck. It has the 6 cd audiophile stereo. I wanted to move my Sirius satellite controller from my 99 to my 08. I was wanting to plug it in to the aux jack but because this truck has dual fuel tanks the tank switch is located where the aux jack is usually found. On my 99 I just used the FM transmitter on the satellite controller but with the 08 I was wanting to hardwire it to the stereo to avoid using the FM transmitter due to static and a very short list of frequencies available in my area. If I remove the stereo unit from the dash will I find an aux jack in the rear of the unit? Any and all advice or comments welcomed. I am trying to set this truck up right because I will be in it for a long time. My 99 has 284000 miles on it.

Call the guys at Crutchfield. They have all kinds of adaptors that allow you to direct connect Sirius and XM to factory stereos. They use the adaptors made by "PAC". I just got an XM one for my wifes Nissan Murano and it works great. I couldn't find it on their website, but when I called them, the guy said, "Oh yeah, you need this and this........"
