Does anyone know how to wire the xm skyfi to turn on when the car is started? Mine turns off with the truck, but then when the car is restarted, static cranks through my speakers if I forget to hit the power button right away.

Does it happen to have an "antenna / amp turn-on" lead similar to what's used to turn on amps and raise/lower power antennas using the radio's antenna lead (usually a very small red or green wire)?
if you get the radio modulator kit its supposed to turn it on when your car turns on.... at least thats what i was told... i havent installed mine yet

skyfi II also caches so it won't drop out as easily. I think my old SkyFi might 'accidentally' break. The SkyFi II also works in the older cradles and boombox.
I'm removing the RF modulator, which actually sounds fine, and using the inputs on my new Harmon Kardon NAV instead so it should be true CD quality.
FWIW- The same nav unit that was optional on the recent Discos is on sale for $1100 OFF at Crutchfield... $399 sale price. It has an aux input if you don't use a changer on it- I never use the changer now that I have XM anyway.

Very true about the changer. I have not listened to anything other than XM or my local stations since installing XM.
