Hey. Just had my iPod installed today and it sounds awesome. Got the XM installed a few months ago. Everything is direct connect for optimal sound. There is a switch installed right above the cigarette lighter to toggle between XM & the iPod...Enjoy

 

looks pretty good. I had the SKYFi2 in my cavalier, but for the xB I wanted to replace the head unit, so I went with a direct tuner.

Did you have to trim the center console for the XM cables to get it to sit flush? Also, where did you put your antenna?

 

Thanks. No, they just used some very sticky 2 sided tape to sit the XM display unit on top of the dash, then the cable was pretty small so it fit right under the console without a problem.

The antenna is placed on the back in the corner. The same side it would be as if you got the factory XM option from Scion. You can see it in this pic:

 

any chance you could take a picture of the inside of the hatch where the antenna comes out? I've got a pretty good idea of where I'm going to run mine, but it never hurts to see pictures of something that works for sure.
