Default Sattelite radio direct connect problem?

Can I hook up a fairly new Sirius Stratus radio direct to 12v or should I just use the cig lighter adapter?

look at the DC power cord that came with it.&nbsp\\; I have a Sirius Starmate, and the cord indicated it was reducing the voltage down to less than 5 volts.&nbsp\\; I added a power receptacle under the fairing and secured the DC cord to it.&nbsp\\; think if you go to cyclegadgets.com or other vendors, you might be able to find a cord that has a voltage reducer built in that you can then direct hard wire.&nbsp\\; If not and your cord does step the voltage down, you'll have to do what I did or something similar using the factory cord.

mine has to sit in the dock also.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; the cord i'm refering to is the power cord from the dock to the power source.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; check the other end of it, it will usually indicate what power is required and what power is outputed to the dock.
