How's the strength of the FM mod? I'm usually against using them because of all the frequencies being used by all the radio stations nowadays. I like the AUX wire because it's a direct signal without any interference.

Sidenote about wires...
When i first installed that satellite radio I used a really thin AUX wire and it made the radio sound like garbage. Garbage meaning low volume and crackling noises at the speakers for high notes and bass. I had a spare AUX that was much thicker (the one in the pics) and it was like a 100% increase in sound quality, no more crackling. I won't underestimate the benefits of thicker audio wire again
