New Sirius user with question about plug and play units and FM frequencies

[Tech27]

Hi, New Sirius user here and I had a quick question about the fm frequencies when tuning in a plug and play unit. I have the new sanyo unit and not sure if better to tune to low or high. which gives better sound through radio?? 88.1 or 107.9??? Thanks in advance for any input.

I use 88.7 as there are no Fm stations around even close to that freq... don't know that there is a difference in Sq between the high and low...

Thanks dfergie, I'll just be sure to try a spot that is away from a near used frequency.

Np, I had "skip"interfere with mine yesterday morning for the first time... you can hardwire to your radio for better reception...

If your head unit, the radio in the dash has a AUX in just use a audio patch cable.

Otherwise use a wired modulator. A wired modulator is placed inline with the normal AM/FM antenna coax. Just unplug the antenna coax from the radio and plug it into modulator, then plug the antenna output from the modulator into the radio. 12v DC power will have to power the wired modulator.

A easier way is to use a cassete adaptor if you dash radio supports it.
