my installation mod, drilled out the suction cup, removed lower accesory center thing, drilled out and bolted together. the power plugin will soon be connected behind the dash and out of sight. they really offer pretty lame installation methods with these things so i thought i would go in a different direction, anyone else done somethin like this?

 

that looks good man!

 

i like that spot for mounting the radio

 

my truck came with it stock and built into the radio and the antenna on the roof.

hehe

 

sirius is the way to go..

Looks nice..

 

I did somthing similar but for my GPS. I got the factory Sirius..
I'll get a pic soon.

 

Nice mounting spot, I wanted to put mine there but having a stick it wouldn't have worked. I ordered the mounting bracket made for our trucks, it fits well....

 

I have mine mounted in the same place with screws and all the wires behind the dash the antenna comes out of the brake light in the back to go onto the roof. Gotta find some batteries and I'll take a pic.

 

please do. id always be up to change mine to a better way.

Posted all my pics in this thread.

 

got xm built into the stereo, i dont think id like one of the mounted radios like that but it does look good

 

I really like the ones not built in because you can store music on them like a Tivo in your car its really nice and you get a full display.

 

how do you store music?? i own sirius and only thing i thought you can do is store the artist and song, or one or the other. please explain because id like to do this.

 

how did you wire it in to turn on and off with your car? **** id love to not have to do that all seperately each time i go driving.

 

Well idk how they did it but if you go to ABC warehouse and spend a couple grand on stuff they'll do it lol, depends on which Sirius you get too if you can store music. Mine you can store the last 48mins of music that was on and rewind threw the songs. I assume in order to get it to turn on and off with the vehicle you connect the hot wire onto something that is only on when the car is on just like with an amp but not 100%.

 

ohhhhh. well i can pause rewind and all that on the sportster4. its probably something i dont want to be messing around with anyways.

here is waht I did for my GPS mount. I didn't want it in the windshield.

 

thats pretty slick, but not good if you have a 5 speed... i've still yet to find a good mounting spot for mine
