Got Sirius

[L84THSKY]

My GF kept bugging me, so I paid up and am now listening to it online. My car install will be done tomorrow. The unit will hang down below the rear view mirror. All wires are hiden under the sunroof motor panel. I just need to find a way to mount the unit on the rear view mirror neck.

SOOOOOO........ Do you like it?

I have XM and I love it!....but I installed myself lol

I'm offended. I had to wait a whole 50 minutes to hear Jackson Browne on "The Bridge".

Just using my computer to listen now, will hook up my satellite receiver tomorrow. So far so good.

I put mine in the ashtray. Just mounted it right in there with some black duct tape. It sits at the right angle for veiwing and hasn't come loose for over a year now. The knob and buttons are right at my fingertips for easy use. I have a MONSTER tape adapter to get the sound into my factory reciever. The antenna is mounted on the back of the roof and the wire runs under the rain gutter trim and behind my glovebox and then to the radio.

I installed it myself too.

I love the CHILL channel #35, Hair Nation, Revolution, Howard 100. Seriously is there any better way to get tunes into your car?

I like having the free space that I made by removing the cigarette lighter and ashtray. By mounting it under the rearview mirror, I won't have to look down to read the info on the satellite receiver. My Blaupunkt headunit already has a remote on my steering wheel.

Will post pics when I finish the install.

Here are the final pics of the install.

Thats would bug the hell out of me being there. You don't find that annoying?

[L84THSKY]

What bugs me is taking my eyes off the road to look down. This setup can be seen very easily. My remote control on my steering wheel means I can make all the adjustments I need, again, without taking my eyes off the road. Whatever reduced windshield view I have, is made up by being a safer driver while playing my music.

That's exactly where I wanted it, and that's exactly where I mounted. I'm a man of my word.

I understand,just too me it would be too distracting when all lit up. Do you have a stock radio? I know they have satelite ready radios out there.

[L84THSKY]

You can see my Blaupunkt radio partially in the pic. As my signature says, I have Blaupunkt CD player, mp3 player and satellite receiver.

ALso I love your interior colortone, I LOVE WHITE!!

I got an alpine head unit for my b-day and it was already SAT radio ready so I dont have to worry about mounting aditional units that are not necessarily hide-away. BTW XM is better!
