The adaptor I used for my Sportster 5 was a Metra AntennaWorks 40-EU30 which is for 2000-Up VW/BMW/European cars if that helps you.

Why not use the aux input on the front of the radio?

Well for me, I already have my Zune plugged in there. That and alot of guys prefer to keep a nice clean look going w/out wires hanging all over. Only dumbass move on my part is I didn't wire it hot so I can't have my Sirius on with out the key being on :(. But this way I won't forget to turn it off......Which could pose a problem if Tigger sits from weekend to weekend lol, that's if I could stop driving the damn thing. Climbed back in my SVT Focus the other day and was like eeewwww! Used to love that little go-cart too! Lol
