Default Almost CD quality Sirius radio

This is the 3rd install try of my Sirius S50 radio. It works perfectly.
The FM modulator is hard wired to the unit and the car antenna. It stops the signal from the car antenna and then sends a signal through to the radio. It is very clear. In fact I set my Sirius to the strongest station in town and it played through perfectly. The S50 is very sleek looking. It records up to 50 hours of Sirius program or MP3 from your own collection. It doesn't look too out of place mounted in the car. This is 100% better than a transmitted FM modulator. The top head removes for carry with earplugs, recorded material only though.

These are the part numbers from Crutchfield to make it work.
# 60714110 FM Modulator relay

Why two adapters?
Did you do the install yourself or did a shop do it?

One adaptor changes the antenna lead from Porsche to motorola from the antenna to the relay, the other changes it from Motorola to the Porsche plug on the radio. A custom car stereo shop, who has done around 15 car stereos for me through the years did it. They do 1st rate work.
Here is a pic of the install.

Looks okay, but we need a plug-in hack for PCM. Untill that happens I am in a holding pattern....

boys, why not just get an iPod, download your music, and plug that into the back of your head units?

I'd love to plug my iPod in but it ain't gonna happen with the MOST system - still waiting for someone to release an adapter.
