According to the dealer, the ant connects to a Interface module via an ethernet cable and then from the I/M directly to the back of the HDS unit into the yellow port and that is the only way to connect it. I swear I read somewhere that you can connect it through the network although the I/M has to have its own power source. Does anyone know about this? I would much rather connect it through the network then have to connect and disconnect 4 things each time.

Also, if I want to connect a second unit in the bow, will that be done through the network as well or through the expansion port box and yellow plugs?

The Sirius antenna connects through the yellow ethernet port, not through the nmea network ports.

o.k., next question. In order to conect the interface module to my sterio in order to get the audio, what kind of cable do I use? The I/M uses a standard 3.5mm audio jack but my sterio, a Jensen MSR4050G has a round female multi-pin plug. Do they mak an adaptor for this?
