Default C5 Sirius question

So I have an Ipod (ipod2car) hooked up to the back of my stock C5 radio now.

I'm willing to lose that to get Sirius working (aux hookup, not fm modulated).

I'm looking for the greatness of the collective to help guide me on what parts I need to do this.

I'm guessing it's as easy as plugging in the sirius adapter into the back of my radio much like the ipod2car is now.

Am I off base?

do you have a sirius unit already, if you wanna splice a few wires you shoudl be able to get both of them to work

otherwise u will need a diff module and have to remove the ipod2car they make an aux2car

furthermore the hardwired fm modulators actually work very good, u would be hardpressed to hear a diff between the 2 on a stock bose system

Hummm, I hadn't thought about a hardwired FM Modulator. What about crappy reception areas on a tuned station?

There's a kit out there that allows for 3 aux jacks to be switched between, similar to the Ipod2go device, but generic RCA inputs.
