Looks like @Countryboy07 pointed you to the right spot already, but basically, you tie into the xm setup behind the glove box. One suggestion that commonly gets overlooked... Use a jack that has separate through/out terminals. You will read about bleed and tuning to channel 0 and all that. If you get a jack that disconnects the "thru" signal when you plug into it, the issue is moot.

Would you mind linking or showing the type of jack you are talking about? I have only seen 1 type of mini jack from different sources. The cheapness, and lack of resilience out of the commonly found jack is a bummer. Thanks in advance.

I lost my pics of that install when a phone died, but I have one more at home. I'll show you in a couple hours.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Sorry, buddy. I forgot all about this. Here's what I used. It's a 5 pin jack so you can see how it switches from one source to another when you plug in. This eliminates the whole "bleed" issue.

Thanks for the pic. That looks like the only I used. For some unknown reason, I am getting bleed thru of the XM signal. Apparently there are differing versions of this jack and some are better than others. Thanks again.

I just installed ISimple and fished an aux jack to my center console. Works perfectly. From what I read about hijacking the XM lead it seemed like you had to do some soldering. Really like what I went with because its plug and play.
