    I just got xm too.. hooked it up just like that above the 3rd brake light. Havent noticed any leaking yet. I must say that I'm not that impressed with the SQ of XM. It sounds like a 96kbps MP3

    I am throroughly impressed with the direct-connected Commander even through my old Kenwood. I really like it with my wife's Alpine!

    And no leakage on my antenna after almost a year.

    Your HU has an AI-net port. All you need is to buy the adapter, same one as on my wife's Alpine, and enable your AUX through the menu. That's it.

    Here is what you need.

    You can also use the m-bus adapter, you just won't be able to add a changer too.
