Sirius FM Direct Adapter
Hi all. I have a portable Sirius radio and purchased the FM Direct Adapter to rid myself of the static. I pulled the radio out today to install this and found that the antenna connection on the back of the stock radio is quite different from the standard style the Sirius uses. Are there adapters for the Sirius to Ford connectors? Any help is greatly appreciated.

No. Your antenna that goes into the factory radio is black plastic correct? They are using the same adapters as Chryslers, etc..

I just wanted to update this for anyone who may run into the same issue. The above Metra numbers provided by black04lariat are correct. (thanks again BTW) I had the chance to speak with a Metra tech person whom was very helpfull too.
I had some shipping issues that have yet to be resolved with Audio Outfitters though. I ended up stopping at a Best Buy on a whim yesterday and was able to purchase the cables from the installation department.
I will post more on the shipping issues later.

Well, I promised I would update this and it looks like Audio Outfitters is not going to make right on their end. One of the cables was sent in an opened plastic bag with a post it note taped to the front with a part number hand written on the post it. Well it was NOT the part number I had ordered. I spoke with customer service a couple times to try and resolve this issue and was told I would be e-mailed instructions for the return shipping. I waited a couple weeks and nothing, I emailed them asking about this and was told that I would be contacted with instructions. Weeks have gone by and nothing, so I am writing this as a follow up. The cable was only $13 bucks plus shipping so it is not a huge loss. My suggestion would be to request the above Metra numbers directly from a professional installer or a Best Buy type place like where I ended up going after I was left hanging for an unacceptable amount of time.
Just an FYI for anyone trying to hook up the FM direct adapter.
