  1. I have the Sirius installed with the antenna hardwire.I found the parts needed at Best Buy and used the Inv2 reciever. We popped the radio out for access to the antenna lead,installed the rcvr in the cubby hole below the climate control(fits great w/ no exposed wiring) and hardwired it into the fuse box for switched power. Set the FM on #10 preset. Sound is good w/no static and no cutouts here in Las Vegas.Ran the antenna lead thru the firewall and installed the antenna under the wiper surround so it's not exposed.I just have the base radio. An interesting read, and if the sound is flawless, probably worth the cost of admission. But I took the cheaper route, first I tried the Pyle direct connect FM modulator, the unit worked but the signal strength to the radio was so low that I had to use 3/4 volume on the dial to get acceptable volume and that was sitting in the driveway, not on the road! Next I tried the Scosche FMOD01, much better and with a gain control to help with the sensitivity of the CDR23. The sigal was good and the sound was equivilent to a strong FM stattion, not quite as good as a CD. Overall not bad and for the price, acceptable and clear. I still would have liked line level input directly to the radio, but for now it is a good alternative to the much more expensive system. Reading about your installs, begs the question. Did you hardwire the power for the satellite radio as well? I've got a 5 volt direct power supply for my XM radio, but can't find a switched 12 volt power supply to connect to. I've been using the passenger side 12 volt outlet with power supply cord, but that drains the battery if I forget to unplug. Would really like a switched source; any input is appreciated. BTW, I'm asking about switched power supply for my 2007 Boxster S; I was able to find one on my 2001 S. Thanks
