The dealer ordered my Sirius kit and it plugs into the factory radio. I decided to keep my factory radio, so I opted for it. About $150-$200 and only took me 2 hours to install. Mount the antenna on the roof, drop the headliner and run the wires, pull out the radio and plug it into the back!!!!!!

Also by having it with the stock radio it still allows my steering wheel controls to be used with it!!!

I have Sirius in my truck...one of the BEST additions I have made. IMO it's better than XM. Very easy to install and works great

You can run the antenna wire under the rubber inside the door and down the pillar all the way to the firewall, then snake it behind the radio location and come out the hole in the dash. I put a cig lighter plug on the ebrake bracket for power using the trailer brake plug so you always have power to the sirius, and no wires showing.

See my gallery for more pics of the "wireless" install

I have a Sirius XACT receiver that my wife bought me last year. Think she paid less than $40 for it at Target.



The antenna is mounted on the dash next to the windshield.

I have mine mounted on the dash with a custom bracket, I have mine with no wires showing. I made a cigeratte lighter behind the dash, plugged the sirius into that, then I put all the wires in behind the dash. I also have the fm modulator due to the interference that happens with the new sirius radios. I will try to get some pics up so you can see

I have Sirius, and I have the S50. I mounted it on the ashtray door, used the outlet below it for power, mounted the antenna on the roof, drivers side rear above the door, ran the wire down the side of the glass, down the cab, and up the frame and through a grommet in the firewall and to the receiver.

Question What mount is that!

Goodeyesniper75,

What mount is that??? Where did you find it, the one I have looks like garbage mounted just to the right of the radio. I would love a mount like that.

How do you get the face plate off around the sterio to get behind the sterio to hook up the fm modulater to the antenna, I also heard that there was a hook up behind the passanger kick pannel for the antenna hook up.
