What is your current car audio setup? Which xm tuner did you get?

express RC. XMCK20KC. i got the radio up and running with a fm transmitter. i'm using a pioner xm ready deck. and i want to hard wire directly to the deck if possible. the fm transmitter sucks so bad. so much static

You can wire it to the head unit if you have a AUX input on it. It should be as simple as getting a cord that is 3.5mm on one end and RCA on the other and plugging it in, if you have the inputs.

The term "xmready" means that you can buy a special XM tuner that you could control with the radio controls. That isn't going to do you any good since you didn't get that xm tuner.
