Over time I have used several 'auto' XM systems. I have also tried one of the 'boombox' types. All of these had similar problems, namely small screens and very small buttons/controls. I wouldn't recommend them for your application. I suggest you check out the Sirius/XM site for 'Home' XM systems (or possibly Crutchfield). They have a couple that look like they have larger controls. They look more like stand alone radios. I'm not sure about how they might interface with an AV system.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Most Sirius/XM receivers can be used as a home unit connected to a home receiver. Depending on what the sirius receiver came with, you may need a 1/8" mini-jack to RCA stereo cable and a power supply that can adapt to your Sirius receiver. The car adapter plugs into a 12 volt power port that can be plugged into your homes power outlet. The 1/8" to RCA cable goes from the Sirius receiver to a stereo input on your home receiver. I'm using one this way and it works fine. You will also need an antenna that you can use indoors. There may be a home kit that contains all you need depending on which Sirius/XM receiver you buy.
