My BMW has a cigarette lighter adapter in the glovebox so I plug the skydock in there and run a 6' Dock Extender Cable behind the dashboard that terminates near my shifter. It makes for a stealth installation. I hightly recommend this method if your car has a cigarette lighter adapter hidden somewhere. Also, I already had an aux input plug so I don't have to use the FM Modulator. The application itself works great and love that you can tag a song then given the option of the app letting you know everytime that song plays or everytime a song by that artist plays on any of the XM stations.

This was a perfect solution for me. If I wanted satellite in my Mercedes (the unit that came with the car didn't have satellite functionality) I would have to have a new head unit installed and have the entire car reprogrammed to the tune of about $4500. Of course this is ridiculous when I just wanted to listen to satellite tunes. I found this in Best Buy and thought it would be perfect for me. Other than the app turning off and needing to be restarted it works just fine. Of course it sorta gets in the way of certain things in the car but again, it beats spending $4500!

Received this product August for my birthday; no problems until I wanted to remove it and use one of the dual lighter plugs. When taking ouf of socket it tore the whole socket out now I have to spend $100 to have two new sockets installed!! If you dont plan on removing this product its fine, but if you do plan on it ,look out!!!
