XM Radio Add On to 2008 F250 Audiophile/Navigation Radio

[wharrell]

I am looking a good solution for an XM Radio add on to the 2008 Ford F250 Audiophile Navigation Radio. I prefer direct connect, but will settle for FM Modulator module if that is all that is available.

Does anyone have a good solution they have used?

The new 'XM Direct' Unit showed promise but it clearly states it will not work with the Ford OEM Audiophile Navigation Units made for Ford by Pioneer.

I prefer the content of the Classical and Jazz programming on XM over Sirius.

well they boast about the front aux input so at least you won't need to use the cruddy modulator but you may need to control it thru the xm unit

thats exactly how it works....u still need the XM auxilary unit...but it will pug into that aux imput jack and play directly wired to there...

That's what I'm using. I have a Inno that I plug directly into the aux. output. I ran the antenna so that it sits on the dash inside by the sensor that way I didn't have to get the wire outside. Don't even know it is there.
