2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Sirius Radio Direct wiring

[GSchroeder]

I have a '98 Dodge and would like to wire my Sirius tuner direct to my radio to eliminate the conflict with FM stations in cities. Has anyone done this with a '98? Does it have an input for that to plug into? It may be too old. I would appreciate any help on this. Thanks. Gordon

I had an older Sirius PNP Tuner that I just used the built in FM Modulator and it worked fine for me.



The old unit died (froze-up on the welcome screen) and I bought a new one about 8 months ago, the new ones have no signal strength from the FM Modulator thanks to the FCC, could only get static on the radio.



I didn't want to tear the dash apart so I bought a FM Modulator from C. Crane Co. , It works great and comes with a transformer to use on 110 AC in the house & takes 2 AA baterries for portability.



I also got their 12 Volt Car Kit and plug into the 12 Volt Cigarette Lighter Port which is key on hot.



Reception with the Crane is far superior to the old units FM Modulator, I have had it on the same Frequency since I got it and have not had any bleed over problems

I used the Sirious "direct" module. It switches the radio antenna off and applies the signal directly to the radio to eliminate the interference.

I used the Direct module as well. Unplug the factory antenna from the radio, plug it into the module. Then plug the module back into the radio's antenna port. It works great. When the sirius is on it blocks out the FM radio channels. Now I don't have to keep changing fm frequencies anymore. I think it was about 40 bucks.
