Most Sirius/XM receivers can be used as a home unit connected to a home receiver. Depending on what the sirius receiver came with, you may need a 1/8" mini-jack to RCA stereo cable and a power supply that can adapt to your Sirius receiver. The car adapter plugs into a 12 volt power port that can be plugged into your homes power outlet. The 1/8" to RCA cable goes from the Sirius receiver to a stereo input on your home receiver. I'm using one this way and it works fine. You will also need an antenna that you can use indoors. There may be a home kit that contains all you need depending on which Sirius/XM receiver you buy.
