What do you currently have for a radio? The reason I ask is that there are basically 2 different ways to hook up a satellite radio-FM Modulated or through a direct connection from a satellite tuner to your receiver.

The FM Modulated way is by far the easiest, but in the same breath your sound quality is only as good as FM radio. Direct connection is more expensive, but will give you better sound quality.

If you're just running the stock AM radio, you may be out of luck, unless you do some type of retrofitting to hook it up. There is a thread somewhere on here where someone took the AM radio and made it MP3 compatible. Depending on your electrical know-how, that may be a viable option for you.
