Default HELP with PIE Adapter

Hi all, I am installing my FRD04-AUX adapter into my 2006 GT so that I can listen to my sattelite radio without the FM modulator. I got the PIE adapter installed and that works, but I can no figure out how to hard wire my sattelite radio. I can use the cigarrette adapter to plug it in and it works fine, but I would rather have the wires hidden behind the radio. So, what I did was cut the cigarette adapter off, and now have the prong that plugs into the back of the Sirius and 2 wires that are connected to it. I tried to splice them into the cigarette lighter wires, but that did not work. I than tried to splice them into the wires that were connected to the PIE adapter, but that did no work also. So, I dont know if I need to splice them to different wires, or if I need some other kind of adapter. Any help would be great.

There's no reason it shouldn't get power from the cig lighter power unless 1)You mixed up the +/- or 2) the fuse is blown.

The fuse wasn't blown. I was told that the adapter that comes with the sirius is 5v, but I need a 12v. I don't really know, because I am not an electronics guy.
