Does Ipod work with Skyfi

[orby]

I have a Delphi Skyfi with an FM Mod in my car, and was wonering if I could unplug the input cable from the XM receiver and into the Ipod? Has anyone tried this?

It should work just fine. I have done this with the wireless FM transmitter. No reason the wired version would be any different. I took this idea one step further. Why unplug anything?

I went to Radio Shack and purchased a headphone Y-adapter and plug it in. One plug goes into my XM, and the other hung free. That way if I wanted to listen to my radio, I simply turned it on. If I wanted to listen to my Ipod, I just plugged it in to the free plug.

Here is a picture of what it would look like:

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. That looks great, but the Skyfi (the model before the Roady) FM Mod plugs into the Delphi XM receiver with a non RCA male plug. If I got a Y plug, and plugged the FM mod in, would the red RCA fit in the XM Receiver?

Thank you!

Orby,

I have a wired FM modulator. I connect my new Ipod to it last night and there is nothing coming out of the speakers. I suspect that there needs to be a load on the 6V connector to switch the fm modulator on and disconnect the regular FM car antenna from the circuit. Is this a valid assumption? Any electronic experts out there?

I wonder if a simple resistor across the 6V would provide the load to activate the wired FM modulator?

Thanks,

Terry
