FM Modulator or AUX input

Post by reinnie »

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a way for me to connect my Sirius FM directly into the Antenna using a FM Modulator?

OR

Does anyone know if there is a way for me to connect it directly to the radio?

This is for my XC90. I searched everywhere and even took the car to professionals radio installers and they're telling me there is no way because this car uses fiber optic for the FM wire.

Thanks in advance.

It helps if we knew what model year XC90. Check here and read thoroughly:

There are solutions there that will give you a direct connect into your head unit which will sound much much better than an FM modulation connection.

Yep...went away from OBD system and you are now using a CAN-BUS system.
