Can't listen to my xm satellite radio cuz my car's tape deck is broken. no fm modulator.?

I have a panasonic XM Inno. It does not have FM modulator capability. I listened to xm/sirius through my tape adapter and now the tape deck in my car suddenly broke and I really don't want to have to get it fixed if I don't have to. It probably costs too much money. What do I do?

I can't clean the tape deck out with a cleaner b/c it spits out my tapes as soon as I put them in.

There is no AUX option in my car either.

Any insight is helpful.

    the fm modulator will work, get a decent one as the cheapos sound crappy. Irregardless the quality will be sub par as it's fm signal. For future ref, hit up crutchfield.com for sales on radios. or sonic electronix

    in case you get it, are not getting one in each and every of those little plug and play radios for the motor vehicle. purchase a clean radio for the motor vehicle. truthfully, in case you driving too some distance removed from the place you will possibly routinely be listening to it, you will finally end up having to locate a clean radio station to music the plug and play unit to. some channels you need to apply do no longer are available in too nicely. once I had it, i did no longer like it. I have been given rid of it final December. Oh and forget approximately approximately having it on your place. you would be spending hours attempting to get the antenna in a stable place to get reception, kinda like the previous type television antenna's. They(Sirius) performed extra often than not junk songs on the hip-hop/rap channels. i strengthen into fairly lots caught with listening to channel a million or 9. those have been the two channels that performed any good music. the communicate channels are no longer advertisement loose. merely the music channels are. the cost of the subscription is approximately 12.ninety 5 a month. i comprehend Sirius use to have deals in case you acquire a a million year subscript. or extra. in case you have the money, which would be a extra robust deal. additionally, lots of the music channels have cussing allowed on them. while you're in a motor vehicle with youthful ones or somebody you do no longer desire to be subject to that language then you will could locate some secure channels that don't enable undesirable words, there are some. i exploit my iPod in my motor vehicle and commerce between that and the radio(terrestrial) wish that facilitates. stable good fortune alongside with your selection!

    Don't listen to that fool, unless you want to spend money for a new one. You can get a fm transmitter for like 12 bucks at walmart. But dont' go to the electronics section go to automotive it is a little black box that will plug in to the headphone jack if your xm has that. I don't know if your model does, but if so look for the scosche black box its small and works fine. Can use that till you feel like replacing your old radio, if it is even worth it. I tried to find a picture of it but couldn't and its not on walmarts website but I have seen it in every walmart I have been in.

    Money is your best friend here. The only permanent fix is to buy a new head unit, this will cost just about as much as fixing it would. So its best to go with a new head unit.
