Just get an Alpine CDA-9855... You'll need a new sirius receiver, but it's really nice.
paid $380 for it. I was shocked at how much better the sound quality it even with the stock speakers.

IIRC you need an adaptor for a line in on the stock Kenwood deck.
Is the Kenwood a single-interface, or multiple-interface (such as the Alpine Ai-Net)? I've got a Sirius receiver on the unit, and wouldn't mind having both the Sirius interface, AND the iPod interface.
Also, is the Kenwood interface audio only, or can you use the radio to control the iPod (as with the Alpine interface)?
Thanks!

The Kenwood head unit has one interface, but if you look at your sirius reciever it should have an input. The kenwood interface does allow you to control it through the deck, you use the scan button to jump for different things ex, album, artist, playlist. am/fm buttons to jump between cds under each subject, and next/previous to change songs within that certain area.

Is it the same cable you would use for the IPOD?

How do we aquire an adapter (Mfr and P/N) and what is IIRC. (I believe one end is a Kenwood design and the other accepts the red and white RCA plugs) I want to hard wire the satellite radio. Thanks

You need this piece: It's a Kenwood CA-C1AUX http://www.crutchfield.com/S-TmHjvDikWdg/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=227550&I=113CAC1AX
This connects to the back of the stock Kenwood Deck, provides a line-input
I also recommend this piece: It's a Belkin Auto Kit for iPod w/ Dock Connector
http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=149006
It charges the iPod, and also provides a line output, where you would connect the above to. Much better quality than from the headphone jack, plus charges it.
You may need an adapter such as below, a Y-Audio cable, converts a headphone plug into RCA. http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProd...nt_Id=1&Section_Id=&pcount=&Product_Id=148894

I just reciently installed the ipod with these adapters and pluged it into the sirus radio but the head unit doesnt detect it. Why? I figured it would be in the menu where the options come up to pick whether you want to listen to ex. tuner,cd player, sirus but its not. I thought it would be under cd changer or something.
