I just bought me a Sirius Starmate...was planning on installing it right below the cd changer...but it's just a tad too big for that...so gonna have to try and invent someway to install it there..but anyway was just wondering if there was any special kind of cable I need to to hook it up to the Aux jack in the center console?I'd like to see which one sounds better and if there is much of a difference. Just wanting to make sure I don't need any special cable to do it..

The "Exact Visor" unit is much smaller. I have it in my CTS getting ready to go in the Prius. I used the suction cups to mount at the top of the windshiled behind the visor. It can't be seen from the outside and it's very compact. I think it was 50 bucks at Best Buy.

My Sirius receiver uses a standard 3.5mm (1/8") stereo jumper, which you can buy at any electronics store, Circuit City, even Wallmart. I think you'll find that the AUX sound is MUCH better than the FM modulated sound, which is limited to 100-15khz, or something like that.
