How would that work exactly? AFAIK the USB port is only for thumb drives or iPods/iPhones.

Why not use the existing aux-in jack on all the models? I did for my XM Inno.

My Inno has a USB jack for syncing with a computer for software updates and moving music to the memory, but I don't think audio flows through that port.

Uhhh - I don't know of any satellite radios with USB type connections?

They normally have an aux out, which goes into the aux in port just fine.

Something like a Sirius Stiletto would have a USB connection... but no it wont work with the USB on the Fit. You will have to use a 3.5mm male/male audio cable to the aux. If it charges through USB you might be able to use the USB connection to charge it while you listen.

The aux is down low on the center stack next to the 12 v power jack in front of your shifter.
