Sirius Radio interface / direct connection

I am looking for a direct connection / interface from my Sirius radio to my stock OEM single CD player. I don't have the option of six-disc, player just single CD in dash; does anyone know where to get one, if this exists?

The FM is so bad around here I'm going to give this thing up soon.

Sirius makes a unit that you plug your am/fm radio into and then you plug the unit into the Sirius radio and your am/fm radio. I have one on my F150 and my Explorer, they work great. Only downside is your AM radio won't work quite as well.

I never could get rid of the static with my Sirius. After many hours of trouble shooting...I retured it and got my money back. Same radio as you. I miss it though...

Sounds like an FM modulator is your best bet.

This is what I bought:

FM Direct Audio Relay - $30 at BestBuy

I get a little static when I'm listening to a talk show and the volume is up, but I don't hear any static when listening to music.

But like I mentioned, AM reception has decreased.

I like having the portable unit, I only have to pay for one subscription and can listen to sirius when in both cars and in the house.
