The Monster cable IP400 cable you showed in an earlier post(mini-stereo to RCA); it doesn't get in the way of the antenna and power connectors on the home cradle?

    Steve - I don't have the home cradle, only the car mount. If you snap me a pic of the side I can tell you whether it will fit....

    It is 3/4 inch wide....then tapers into the miniplug. The thickness is about a 1/4 inch....that help?

    Yep, that will help. I'll measure it when I get home, but I don't think it will fit. Why Delphi put the 3 connectors so close together, I'll never know...

    Thanks bud for the quick response.

    Anytime honcho.... They probably made it proprietary, so we would have to buy the high speed, extra special, Delphi only adapter :D

    Steve,

    I borrowed my brother's Delphi XM setup with the home cradle for a week and I used the Monster IC that Doro helped me find.

    No problems with the fit. AR also makes a cable. You can find both at Best Buy if you have one near you and yes the stock cable is a joke.

    Ensure that you check Ebay and Half.com....I picked up the MC IP400 for like $10 used. Good information Steve!
