I WOULD HELP YOU OUT WITH THIS IF I KNOW HOW. SORRY DUDE.

most satellite radios run off of 5v, so dont cut the cigarette plug off. you need to buy a female cigarette lighter plug. it will a positive and negative wiring coming off of it; just tap those onto the regular cigarette lighter wires and you are done.

^^^ Hmmmm. I have no cigarette lighter in my car. Later, QD.

just catch a 12v Acc either at the ignition harness,fuse box. or behind the radio and make sure to fuse the wire for added protection. Also if your running a stand alone unit like a inno, xpress, starmate, etc id highly suggest using a fm direct adapter to eliminate any fm bleed threw or static from the channel.

look at the power plug that the kit comes with..on the cigarette adapter power plug it will say 12v or 5 v..if its 12v(there will be no resisters inside the plug) you can cut off the plug and wire it up to switched ignition and ground...if it is a 5v output the you will have to either solder wire to the circuit bored inside the plug or you can buy a female cigarette adapter,then just plug it into the powerplug of the sat radio) and wire the adapter to ignition and ground

Thanks, hybrid and b@d. I forgot to mention that I have a radio from the car. It is the factory AM/FM radio for the 79 Civic. I wanted that radio in the car for the stockness and to hardwire my Sat. radio because I can put the receiver where it really won't be seen. I do have the FM adapter for noise bleed. I can run all that through; just needed a power source. Later, QD.
