Default Sirius Sat Radio Intall Help

Hey I was wondering if anyone has successfully installed Sirius in their XB? I need some ideas on where to mount it with out the mess of wires or blocking me from accessing all the XB's features. Any one?

I have seen some install the actual box in the dash, behind the headunit. I don't think you would have to remove the dash to get it in there, but it might be a good idea just to get it posistioned correctly so it's not flopping all over the place. Removing the dash of the xB isn't terribly hard.

As for the antenna, you can route it to the outside of your car. I don't think it would be that hard.

Was fatboy talking about the contoller itself (the computer) that connects to the headunit? Or was he talking about the controller that you showed in your picture... the user interface?

I could just be really confused.

Check out Panavise for dash-mounts:

Looks very clean when done right.

Anyone heard anything more about the Sirius/XM deal? I don't think I like the idea.
I just use a removeable XM tuner in my xb, so I can move it from car to car and use it in the house also. Hey Lowdown, know anyone interested in a 2005 RS xb?
