MP 3 Connector

I have an EXACT Sirius radio unit that I would love to use in my car so that I don't need to buy the one from BMW. Questions:

1-I have the sat radio prep in my car-can I use the shark fin antenna to hook up to the Exact? Has anyone done this? looking at the sunglass tray to put the unit into...

2-Need to connect to the MP3 connection in the center armrest; however, only connector provided by Sirius out of unit is with RCA-type connectors into home receivers. Anyone know of a connector that can come out of the Exact unit right into the MP3 jack? Thanks!

I used to be an audiophile back in the day......

question #1..not sure.i think its different antenna connections on the factory and your Xact.
Question 2- you got 2 options (1) buy a 1/8 mini jack to RCA female and connect that to the RCA connector that comes with the home kit. or option (2) buy a 1/8 mini jack to 1/8 mini jack cord..one end plugs in the AUX port in teh car..the other into the line out of ur sirius Xact unit

Thanks. Which connector in the trunk is the sat radio one? Think I'll be going to Radio Shack to screw around with some connectors, adapters, etc.....
