One thing that I miss when camping is staying in touch with the news, so I have been thinking of getting satellite radio to take with me (I realize that satellite may not work in a number of places bu...

Generally there is no problem.. Yo umay wish to visit www.crutchfield.com and see if they have an adapt-a-kit.
Also if your old radio has a CASSETTE input, that works as an AUX in too, though not as good as the real deal.
Some radios DO have aux in capibility but you need a plugs into the back adapter. (My Dash Radio for example).
and finally there are many FM_transmitter options, Radio Shack carries a few of them and if you google Radio Shack Stores Closing.
The prices at the stores on the list are kind of good.. Very good in fact.
NOTE: FM transmitters can be a problem in heavily saturated markets,, No blank space on the dial or your transmitter.
There used to be one company (I think AudioVox) that made one that went inline between the FM antenna and the radio,, That fixed that, but alas Have not seen it in more years than I care to admit to.
I had looked into all the above. I already have a FM transmitter but it eats batteries. Tried the tape deck input and the sound of the deck was way too loud. No AUX input as it is way too old for that.
Then as I was reading your post for the second time I thought of a couple things that I will have to add to this project:
- 12V plugs to charge the satellite receiver, cell phone
- May as well locate one of the inverters to this area as I will have a straight drop to the fuse panel and can charge camera batteries using this
- Will look for a deck that has a IPOD plugin and a AUX in for the satellite receiver
Project getting bigger :-)
