So my Accord has a Pioneer DEH-M8600MP head unit which has one (1) aux input (technically the CD changer input). I'm trying to figure out how to:

- combine both the XM radio audio output and iPod audio output into one input
- get power to at least the XM radio, if not the iPod as well
- mount my XM reciever and iPod in visible, easy-to-reach places on/near the dash
- keep the whole thing clean looking

Eventually I'm going to install a car PC, which will solve the whole thing (HD for songs, USB input XM). But, since I don't have an extra $1k lying around, and the Pioneer is a pretty nice HU, I thought I'd stick with this setup for the moment.

Anyone have a suggestion?

you'll have to use a y connector to connect them both, unless you can run the ipod through the xm (doubt the xm unit has an input). I would just mount the xm directly under the HU in that cubby there, but you can mount it anywhere you want
