Can I power my XM radio via a USB adapter?
My unit works fine with the normal cigarette lighter adapter, but I'd like to use a USB adapter that fits into the cigarette lighter. It's a lower profile and can contain two ports, allowing me to power my phone or something else while I am listening to XM.
The problem is that I cannot see any sort of power cable that has the XM unit plug on one end and USB on the other.
Does this even exist?
Thanks!
Desert Dust - Thanks for the thought. I figured there was a reason no one had made such a cable.

Your XM radio will likely pull too much current to use your USB adapter. Check the specs sheets on both before trying it.
