RE: Tweeking Sirius Radio Receiver

I don't think it's possible to find a replacement DC cord with the same locking connector at one end, and a DC plug that fits the Sirius receiver at the other end. The molded DC plug for the power supply upgrade you ordered is 2.1mm x 5.5mm which is a very typical size, whereas the DC plug for the Sirius receiver seems to be a narrower size. So you have a few options. If you can DIY, other than building a new DC cord from scratch, snipping-off the molded DC plug of the DC cord and re-terminating it with the proper size DC plug would be the best option. If you don't DIY, a compromise of using a DC plug size adapter would be the solution. There are a number of options for DC plug size adapters, including a right angle type. I can't seem to find the exact size for the Sirius receiver, so I suggest you contact BixNet.com which carries many DC plug size adapters in order to obtain the proper adapter.
