What adaptor(s) to connect a SkyFi2 to an Alpine HU?

I'm thinking about getting an XM receiver, but I don't want to degrade the SQ by connecting the receiver using an FM modulator or a cassette adaptor. What adpator(s) do I need to connect a Delphi SkyFi2 to the Ai-Net connector on my CDA-7892 digitally?

You aren't gonna get the signal digitally. The only way to use that unit is to get an ainet to aux cable and connect using the headphone out.

I got mine from crutchfield - way more knowledgable then my trip to CC of which the jacass didnt know wtf he was talking about.........

I usually dont buy from them but when it comes to this stuff they are on the ball

and XM/Sirrus prices are the same everywhere
