SIRIUS radio connection...

Is there an AUX input or any way to connect a Sirius to a 2004 MCS radio? I know some of the later models have an input jack. I'd rather not use the FM station option.

2003+ models can have an "aux input" cable added, cost $40 or less, plus install - but easy to self install.

Here is my setup.

I bought this adapter from Crutchfield. It takes the cd changer cables in the boot and changes them into 2 sets of aux composite jacks (rca red/white). You can change your audio source by changing between cd 1 or cd 2. I thought that was cool if I decided to add a mp3 player or something later.

I can add some pics of my setup if that helps.

I have an 06' Cooper S.
