    Not familiar with the Bose. Does it have a direct in? This can be either RCA (the red and white plugs) or a small jack that looks like a headphone jack. If so, I am sure there are satellite tuners with outputs that should plug right in.

    ETA - Googled the Wave and found this - "Auxiliary input jack lets you enjoy your TV, computer or another audio source through your Wave system." So as long as your XM/Sirius has an AUX out you should be good to go.

    Thanks. I read that too when I did a search but it wasn't clear about the XM hook up. Guess the thing to do is go to the Bose store but I hate going to Concord Mills.

    Are you wanting a Bose XM tuner? Do they even exist? If not, there is no reason to go to the Bose store.

    The Wave has an AUX input. You just need a satellite tuner that will plug in to that jack. Worst case scenario is you will need an extra cord or adaptor from Radio Shack (to convert a 3.5mm to RCA for example).

    Hope this helps!

    Discontinued item, and kind of spendy anyway at $230. From the item description I see the following -

    - 5.5" Y-adapter with a male stereo RCA connection on one end a female 3.5mm minijack connector on other end.

    So you can pretty much buy any XM/Sirius tuner and get the above cord from Radio Shack and you will be ready to rock out.

    I have a Skyfi with the home kit hooked into my Bose.Works beautifully,you can usually hide the cables somewhat.I'll second if there's ever a Bose XM.I think all the home kits come with jack to RCA cable.If the Bose has RCA hook-ups you're all set,if not it shouldn't be a problem to get a mini-jack to aux-in audio cable.
