OT: XM Radio from 396

It only took one trip in the airplane after I activated the XM entertainment
channels for me to become hooked.

I’ve started taking the thing in the car with me on driving trips, but I hate
wearing headphones in the car.  How can I get the audio output from the 396
into my car’s audio system?

    Yeah, but $30 is astronomical for one of these.  Go to Walmart and get
    it for $15.

    Headphones in the car are illegal in Virginia.

    Dan,

    Aside from a hard-wired connection into your car audio system, a
    cassette adapter is the next best option.  The FM transmitters are the
    least desirable for audio quality, but they do work if you have no other
    option.

    These guys http://www.pie.net/
    …make a bunch of interfaces designed to add XM or line-in or IPod
    capability to various cars.  It will be more expensive (parts +
    installation) this way than buying an FM transmitter, but much better sound
    quality.
