Notes from last weekends Aux-in and XM Commander install.

Jazzy's instructions are excellent

Installed Radio Shack’s ground loop isolator (cheap insurance)

Hardwired the Commander’s power to radio’s existing ground/ACC/PWR plug

Installed that XM Antenna on the inside passages dash near the temp sensor.

Mounted the XM box underneath the Radio/CD unit (lots of room)

Ran a 6 FT secondary 1/8 plug inside the center console for MP3/tape players.

Installed the display screen in the cubby hole.

Problem encountered:

• Trying to figure out how to disconnect the plugs from the radio unit
  
• Pulled the radio’s antenna wire out of the attach plug (broke it twice and repaired it twice)
  
• I think I over tightened the screws holding the CD change to the head unit causing the CD changer to only partly load a CD and then turn off.

Overall experience:

• Awesome sound, XM sounds better then it ever did.
  
• XM Commander looks like it is a factory install
  
• Very satisfied, thank Jazzy.
