my mom bought delphi skyfy XM radio and it came with a buy 1 get one free thing for the delphi roady2. does anyone have the roady2 and how does it hook up to a stock scion radio..sorry if repost

 

I don't have the roady2, but I believe it has an fm modulator. i.e. it broadcasts the signal over fm and you tune that frequency on your regular deck. Controlling the roady would have to be done on the roady, not the deck in your car. This is not the best way of doing this, but it's the easiest. If possible, connect the roady into the deck. This will make a huge difference in clarity. XM has great quality (way, way better than fm) and by using the modulator you are killing the clarity.

 

I have a Roady that I plugged into my Nissan via aux input in the front of the Radio.

I purchased my XB April 23rd and purchased the Toyota XM unit. This does directly connect to the back of the stock Pioneer unit in the XB.

Hope this helps.

how do i hook the roady to the deck...is there hook ups in the back?

 

There are no jacks in the back of the stock radio to connect the Roady or any other after market device in.

The jacks that I saw could only be used with the Toyota XM unit.

I watched the guy install mine in the shop.

I did see in a previous post a device that plugs into cig lighter that would modulate the signal to the radio. Sorry but I do not recall the name of the device, or the exact post.

Hope this helps.

 

thanks for your help...yeah i my mom said something about the cig lighter plug in thing

 

There's a PIE adapter you can get to convert one of the inputs into RCA plugs.

 

Thats much better!!!!
