Default SIRIUS!!! Just installed!!!

So I just installed my sirius today. Thought I would share if anyone was looking for ideas. I decided to go with an aftermarket sirius ready deck and the tuner kit (kenwood). My last vehicle I used the same setup but it was the older gen1 tuners. The data cable from the deck to tuner were quite longer in comparison to the newer gen2 kits. So I didnt have enough cable to run all the way to the back like i had wanted. So I routed the cable down under the drivers side rocker covers and dumped it out under the drivers seat. There was however enough cord on the antenna to wrap around the car twice so i continued from there to the back hatch. I used the rear shock tower covers as access to get the antenna routed to the back. Also used the tailight cover oppenings to aid in my wire wiggling. The antenna is pretty flat and held by a magnet, so just put it on the roof wherever you want. If you do it like i did make sure you route the wires under the car-jack cover so you dont see them. After all this was done my buddy walks up and asks what im doing and the proceeds to tell me I should have just put the receiver in the glovebox and ran the antenna down the passenger side. I thought about for a while and im pretty sure that would have been alot easier. SH*T!!!!!!! Pardon my french. So basically anyone who has sirius of any kind, lets see some pics and tips cause im sure there are some people like me could use them>>>>>Oh, next time i pull it in the shop ill get some pics and post of mine.

I put my antenna on the roof just in front of the hatch, ran the wire into the rubber gromet in the center and down the passenger side to the front of the counsel. I attached the receiver to the front of the counsel where it is out of the way but still within reach. Sounds great and Howard Stern is a riot.
