The items came today to finally hook up the Sirius radio to the Taurus radio.
Here's the Sirius Direct FM adapter and two cables to adapt the Ford connectors to normal and back to Ford-style that I got from Crutchfield:
Here they are, the radio finally connected:
You'll notice that you can't see the interface box for the adapter in this photo. That's because the people that designed the adapter assumed that the radion connection was in the front of the car too, so the cable that goes from the adapter to the Sirius radio cradle is only 6 feet long. The only place where all the wires reach is when the box is next to the back seat.
That was my "garage" work for today. Upstairs work consisted of putting shelves in the closet so that we don't have a giant pile of random hats/scarves/gloves and can't find any that match.
Sunday I put cardboard flaps on the doors in the garage to help block cold air from coming in.
