Default Sirius Direct Connect Install

I just purchased the "Professional Vehicle Install Kit (SIR-PVK1)" to directly connect my Sirius Stiletto 100 to my head unit. Has anyone ever done this before? I don't have the slightest clue of where to attach the power supply (one wire with a fuse). Does anyone have any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If it is a 12 volt source that is needed, tap into your cigarette lighter, that way it won't be on all the time, only when your truck has power to the radio and accessories.

I tapped into the power going to the radio for my sirius.

Constant 12V+ is Pink/Yellow
Switched 12V+ is Red/White
Ground is Black

So if you want the sirius to stay on whether the vehicle is on or off use constant power, if you want it to go on and off with the key use the switched power.
