XM Radio in the car?

Since most satellite radio units use a 5v power source, you can't just wire them straight into the vehicle's wiring. You can do it with something like this: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&Partn... Just wire the socket up to a switched accessory power source, then plug in the XM cigarette lighter adapter. You can get a socket like this by purchasing a cigarette lighter splitter or extension cable, and cutting off the end. Make sure you correctly identify which wire connects to the outer shield of the socket (ground) and which goes to the center contact (positive).

Otherwise, your XM Radio should have a built-in "auto-off" feature that will turn the unit off automatically after a set period of time. Check the owner's manual.
