I called Sirius told them I was going to cancel due to static. They gave me two free FM adaptors and two install cards. A local mobil installer installed both FM adapters for both of my vehicles. No more static.

The static is due to the FCC making the repeaters low power. My original PNP Sirius worked great. Then it died and I got a Stratus. Lots of static, I use the FM modulator, and the AUX input for my boom box. No more static, but it sucks to have extra wires dangling over the dash. I got my stuff from TSS radio.com

This is what I have: USA SPEC DF-FORD20 Adapter Connect a music player to your 1996-up Ford factory radio at Crutchfield.com.
It works with the AUX button also. It also has 2 outputs. I use 1 for my SIRIUS and 1 for my MP3 player. When I bought it, they told me I shouldn't need a noise isolator. I went ahead an bought one for each output anyway. Not sure what is wrong or if I'm doing something wrong, but I have terrible alternator interference on both the sat. radio and MP3 outputs. I have it with and without the ground loop isolators installed. what could be wrong? What can I do to get rid of the alternator interference?

For the best sound quality you need to get a new head unit.. you can used the big plug on your Sat radio receiver and plug it strate in the back of the new head unit.. like i did in my old truck.. on this one it is run throe the antana it is good but not cd quality sound i was used to or that my current cd player puts out..

so dose anyone know of a good head unit that is sat radio ready and i can plug my ipod in as well?

I got a second portable one that worked off a repeater i did not want to hard wire it because i was going to use it in a tractor and boss mans truck.. i could not get it to even over come the dead stations and when it i did i had to turn the radio up all the way.. I called them to complane they sent me a new tuner and gave me 3 months for free.. The new tuner sat in my house for 4 months till i called and canceled but i get a call from them once a month wanting me to turn that set back on.. o well i guess you can say the FFC screwed them out of my extra business.
