Summary: If you own a Ford Taurus...
Comment: I did some research before buying my first satellite receiver to see how other Ford Taurus owners made out, and thought I'd share my results. (This will apply to other Ford/Lincoln/Mercury car owners as well.)

I bought the Pioneer CD-INCAR2 Car Kit for the Pioneer Inno2. The kit has everything that most people will need, and it works well enough. Of course I first tried the FM modulator (which, as others have pointed out, can only be used with the dock in this kit). Unfortunately, the combination of the (FCC-mandated) weak FM signal and the rear-deck-mounted antenna ruled out that solution. (Some receivers come with an external wire antenna which you stick to your rear window to overcome this problem. At this writing, the Inno2 doesn't.)

The cassette adapter works passably well, but I don't get the full musical range; the sound is more or less muddy, depending upon the station. (I'll try cleaning the cassette deck's heads, but I'm not hopeful.) I may try the SureConnect wiring harness but, judging by other reviews, that sounds like more hassle than it's worth.

Taurus (and other Ford/Lincoln/Mercury) owners who don't like the cassette adapter or the SureConnect cable have another option -- the FRDR-AUX connector marketed by Crutchfield. It "lets you convert the CD changer port on your Ford, Lincoln, or Mercury factory stereo into an auxiliary input, suitable for connecting an add-on satellite radio tuner, portable music player, or other audio source." (They have an online tool to match your car with the proper adapter.)

I haven't purchased this yet, but if I get really dissatisfied with the cassette adapter, I might. It's not cheap; it costs about ten bucks more than the Car Kit. You'd still need the Kit, however, for the dock, antenna, and power cord.

Summary: Great addition to the inno!
Comment: I love it. Way better than plugging in thru an aux jack. My inno is much clearer and charges while driving. I should've bought this a year ago.

Summary: Thanks to the Reviewers
Comment: I have a Samsung XM radio. Without the readers' review, I would not have known for for sure that the Pioneer Noon kit would work but it works fine.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Necessary for each vehicle you own
Comment: This kit works well but required an hour or two of routing and bundling wires behind and between interior panels. Time and patience required. There is no easy way to avoid the work unless paying professionals to install.
The five stars are for functionality.

Summary: Don't count on the modulator.
Comment: I was excited to get my Inno I had very good experience with my Roady2. When I received my INCAR kit I hooked it up and the modulator did not work at all. I sent it back and got a new one. The bottom line is that the FM modulator is just worthless. I try to hold the Inno all around my car radio and only hear music through very bad static. I had to buy another car radio with a tape deck and the tape deck adapter with the INCAR kit. With that adapter the Inno sounds great.
