What about this to hook up ipod?

Might work well. Supposed to have good sound quality (from the reviews), and you could make a nice, steathy install from it.
Any thoughts?

I'm looking at this model from Soundgate. I believe they are a high quality company. Anybody have this one? Does anybody know if the Honda/Acura uses the standard antenna connectors? Would this interfere with the terrestrial signal to XM (I don't know where XM gets it's terrestrial signal)?

I would use this in conjunction with this.

These devices don't have anything to do with XM. The cable to the XM antenna, on the roof, isn't the same thing that the radio antenna uses. I remember seeing some posts about FM modulators on this board, so try some searching. I'm sure someone else has tried one of these things.

I think that there are a lot of factors that determine the quality of these things. I had a Sony 10 Disc changer that used am FM Modulator that sounded just fine. Granted it's not the best alternative, but it may be better than a cassette adapter. I would like to hear any experiences that people have had. Please include the model of FM Modulator used.

Remember that XM uses two antennas - one for satellite and one for terrestrial signal. Usually both antennas are in the same package, but I don't know about OEM installs.
