I've got an Alpine XM Tuner head unit. The XM unit is under the passenger seat. I have a low profile antenna you can't even see from street level wired in at the high mount break light. I do have one suggestion on RF modulated types....Don't buy them unless you're trying to cheap out! Sound quaility does suffer...I had one and many of my buddies have them and they aggree on that they do have signal degredation. I would have a crackling sound in the speakers during voice or talking. I thought it was my speakers....NOPE!! I can't speak for DELPHI....but Alpine, Pioneer and Sony units seem to have that crackle. It's really hard to notice except when on the "comedy channels" When I installed my Alpine head unit, Talk about a huge difference in sound!!!

********I LOVE MY "XM"!!!!!!*******CHANNEL 41 (BONE YARD)

Last I remember the OEM 6 CD did not play MP3's, but it would be great if it did...

I realy had no choice on the FM mod, the 6cd does not have an AUX or CD changer input that I could have used a PIE or BlitzSafe connector for direct input.
