How's the reception on that? I have read conflicting reports. Do you use the built in antenna when riding?

It you get a MP3 cord...I think that's what it's called, at your local radio shack, it plug into you FM receiver port on your mount and then plugs into the aux. port on the front of your radio. Then select Aux on radio instead of FM, CD, etc.. now you have a direct link. It's great. My truck used the antenna too and it sucks.

Yes, that's right. It goes in the AUX port. I don't want to have a wire dangling there though. You can get a direct connect that connects to your FM antenna port behind the radio. Then the FM antenna from the bike plugs into that. It is a great setup. To my ears sounds just as good and you have NO problem with FM interference. You could pick an FM station and park right next to the transmitter tower and you would still get no interference. That way all the wires go down the handlebar and into the fairing. Much cleaner IMO.

What I need to know is what port on the sirius do I hook it in to if I am going into the aux port on the front of my radio
