Is there a Line in for XM radio in the stock civic radio?
Hey Guys,
I want to put XM in my car but I also want to keep the stock radio. I know there is a way to broadcast to an FM station but that would sound shitty. They said that if there was a line in then I could use a kit to do that. I posted a pic below here of what radio I have so if anyone has one laying around would you mind checking it out? Thanks guys, Matt

crutchfield has what you need http://www.crutchfield.com... i believe a company called usa spec make the part you need. just look for it.
my friend uses sirius through an fm channel and i personally think it sucks. sometimes it loses reception under bridges. you won't get to change channels through your stock headunit but you'll be able to connect it to your stocker.

OK so heres the Update, I bought the roday XT unit and I love it! I ended up mounting the unit low in the car by the cup holders.
As far as the system goes, I am using the stock Fm transmitter thats built into the unit and honestly it does sound good. It sounds a lot better than my iPod with a transmitter as a point of reference. I mounted the Antenna on the trunk and ran the wire up.
Eventually I will plug it in to the stock radio through the Aux input thats meant for the CD player because Hard wired sound will be much better so I will post in here when I do that, i think I found the plug on Crutchfield.
