First, I have searched and haven't found a complete answer to my question.

I am going to be buying an 07 G35 Sedan w/ Navigation.

I would like to keep XM for the Navtraffic option.

I would like to add an Ipod to the car. I would also like to add Sirius to the car.

Is it possible for all of these to live in harmony. I don't necessarily need complete IPOD integration. Is there an AUX in I can use? What about Sirius, can I buy a Sportster or other Sirius receiver and use on AUX in?

What I don't want to have to do is unplug the IPOD to listen to Sirius. I also don't want to lose the XM Navtraffic.

Can anyone help?

 

The XM and sirius won't play nicely together as they normally would use the same connector on the same harness, but the XM and ipod should work fine together. You'll have to unplug the ipod from the connector for the XM to play through, but if you run an FM modulated (or hardwired through the antenna connection) Sirius unit you could leave the ipod plugged in and just tune to the channel of the sirius unit.

 

I have the sirius starmate installed in my ashtray, fits like it was made for it. I also have the XM and Nav. I hooked the sirius into the inputs/ cigarette lighter in the center armrest. Bought the monster cable hookup from radio shack.
Good Luck!

jfischetti, I saw your post on 6MT too. Can you post pics of your starmate install? I have been using mine in the console for almost 2 years, and I would either like to replace with OEM Sirius option or do something like you did. It is a shame that Sirius-XM can do combo billing, or I would activate the XM tuner in my G35S and get the best of Sirius. I just refuse to pay them for two separate subscriptions when they should be able to merge my billing. Some merger - huh?

Thanks!!
