[QUOTE="B. Mann, post: 8694843, member: 678219"] OK, just for a follow up. I tried a cheap Bluetooth adapter. Dropped connections all the time. But it was clear. I upgraded to a higher quality Bluetooth adapter. Better not as many dropped connections. Maybe a few times in 8 hours. Every couple days I would get a random disconnect and failure to connect it would take me 5 minutes to get it connected again. The biggest problem with Bluetooth, when you restart the vehicle it take 5-20 seconds for it to connect up. The fix was to hit the radio button after turning key off so the connection would be connected when you started the truck again. Hassle. I finally bit the bullet and tore the dash apart to hard wire the FM modulator to the antenna jack. I had to buy 2 antenna adapters. The newer radios use a modular antenna plug, not the old school push in ones. So you needed an adapter to go to the radio and another for the antenna wire. Excellent quality, and it is on all the time the radio is on. Even passing a strong FM station you get a touch of static, but not bad at all. (When I used the wireless FM modulator I would lose signal for miles) So if you are trying to figure out what to do when you do not have an AUX port. Hard wired FM modulator is the only way to go. BTW the antenna adapters I picked up from Amazon for about $10?. I think they were called Euro adapters. Link if anyone is following... [URL]https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0007WQ8VQ/?tag=caraudiocom-20[/URL] Just to let you know, this is not to use any output to the FM modulator, It only works for most of the Sirius models. As far as a USB input. There is no such thing. To much incompatibility. [/QUOTE]
