Default 2004 Tahoe adding satellite radio

What is the best way to add satellite radio to the radio? It is the CD/Tape player kind but does not have an AUX feature. We have tried an FM tuner and it sucks. The problem is that the antenna plug is midget sized, and that is the only way to add an AUX input.

Anyone know of an adapter for these trucks?

if you have a cassette player you could use the audio cassette adapter they are about ~$8 at Walmart....

our XM radio (that I use in both the house and my truck) came with an FM modulator that clips onto the exterior antenna. This will only work if you have an exterior whip antenna, however.

Is that what that thing was( modulator) that clipped to the antenna?
My wife had an XM tuner in her mini van, which I later upgraded to the XM Snap, but she used the cassette adapter... she now has a Journey that has the built in Sirius/XM... anyone need an XM snap tuner?

The modulator is built into the xm reciever ( mine is a Delphi Skyfi) that thing just sent the signal out and it wraps around the antenna so that you have good reception. I have not tried it but I bet if you were to park near me and tuned to 91.4 you might be able to pick up my signal.
