install of Sirius satellite radio
#5
I ran my cable out of the side of the light, on the lower corner with a slight "drip leg" (allowing cable to go down a bit before arcing back up). This setup seals well enough that it doesn't leak like having a hole on top where water beats down and accumulates on it.
Looks fine though. I don't like having my display down that low. I put it up on the dash to the left of the steering wheel in that unused area just below the gauges so I can see it without having to look down so much.

can you post up some better pics of the dock mount? like the rear and side shots of the mounting. i have an idea, and i want to make a mount area where i can swap it out for the ipod. also how does the wires connect? and how do you have it playing thru your radio? is there a headphone jack out put?

The back is simple:
Audio Jack Insert:
It has a 8mm male headphone type jack you plug into the back which than It converts to "2" RCA OUTPUTS (red and white for audio). I Have an "AUX" Meaning auxiliary program on my cd player which allows me to hook up anything audio to the cd Deck, Meaning I have a set of Rca coming out the back of my receiver for aux purpose only.
Power Supply:
Simple as 1,2,3, Same principle with the plug going into the back of the docking station, and it goes right into you cigarette lighter.
Antenna:
as with the above 2, same principle but just for the antenna.
I can get pics but I will have em in a couple days.

Ya have a point there. But my mount and docking station is too big and guady to be up high. Would look like a brick in the window but a blue one. lol
