I need a little help....

I'm looking to buy myself the Sirius Sattelike Radio Sportster 6. But, I'm worried that the sound through the FM Transmitter will sound staticky (I can't stand that) since I do not have an audio output to connect directly to my car stereo.

Can anyone please tell me whether I should skip this purchase all together due to sound quality or if it's nothing to worry about.

Thanks
The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols

    The FM transmitters for Sirius receivers are pretty bad. They used to be good in the beginning but the FCC stepped in and made some regulations for all transmitters.

    I personally would pass and get an affordable Indash car unit that can be installed by professionals

    What you need to buy is a Sirius Fm Transmitter modulator. You can buy on eBay, TSS radio, ect... About $15 The way this works is u pull put fm antenna wire from your radio. You plug that wire in the modulator and the modulator will plug into your radio and your Sirius car docking unit. You may have to buy adaptor for antenna wire may not match. This will give you a perfect signal and you will never have to change fm channel again.

    Oh boy.... that sounds like quite the job.

    I may need to re-think this purchase.

    Do I need to pull out my own car stereo to plug in this modulator?

    Yes you would have to pull radio because you need access to the fm atenna plug on the back of radio. you can look on utube and do it yourself it shouldn't be that bad. Or u can take it to bestbuy and have it installed.

    I agree with this^^^^^^^^. Get the indash car unit. I don't think you can go wrong with that(that's what i had done in my vehicle). Probably save you some headaches too.
