Roady 2 Question

[elevator_opratr]

Well, thanks to the good comments here a few weeks ago in response to my posts, I purchased a Roady 2 the other day and absolutely LOVE it. I knew "Sunny" and "Watercolors" were good, but wow. LOVE it.

New question. What do I need to make my Roady 2 play in the house now? What kit do I need now? This is the only thing I hate about satellite radio. You need a kit for the kit's kit. LOL

Go to Radio Shack

Buy a AC Adaptor (6V 800mA)
It will come with a connector AKA Adaptaplug (Get the "B" Plug)

Its much cheaper in the long run. Better then blowing another 40 bucks on a home kit. Works very well for me.

Then you can listen in the house using either the FM Modulator or your average line in cable. I listen to mine with the line in connected to the computer for most indoor listening. For listening outside of this room and in the car I use the FM Modulator. <P ID="signature">______________

True, but what about the satellite antenna? I pretty much permanently installed it into my car. I guess your idea is only good if I have another of those little antennas?

If you want a second antenna, get the home kit Djdanska mentioned below.

You'd end up paying just as much if you bought the antenna and adapter separately, and the home kit adds in a remote and a stand.
