Ok,

Tell me what you think....

I just installed my XM Radio in my dash and I think it turned out pretty good. I went to auto zone and bought (of all things) a battery box and cut out the side of it. Just enough to cover the cubbyhole underneath the air cond. controllers. I took the back of the cubbyhole off and sandwiched it in between the front of the dash cut out and the cubbyhole pocket. Then cut the middle of the cover covering the cubbyhole and installed the XM Controller.

If you notice the Ipod with the FM transmitter is in the top 12V accessory.

 

Looks like a good job of installin....hope the sound is as good as the looks...

 

Hey that's pretty cool. This is why Americans are on top.

 

it looks good but I like mine better

 

I love the install! Notice where you have your Prodigy installed... is that angle too steep or does it still work there? If so, I'll put mine there.

On a similar note, anyone have a suggestion for where to put my CB?! It's big, and I'm having a hard time figuring out a good place for it where it's out of the way but still accessible.

 

Mine is mounted verticaly on the floor, in front of the center seat.

 

the brake controller works fine there. i can't remember what the exact angle is that you can't use it but it works fine in this location.

one item of note. if you do mount it there, mount it a couple of inches lower than i have mine. my keys hit the brake controller while i am going down the road and it drives me crazy.

i will mount it a little lower once i get time.

 

I would do that, but on my truck that's where the factory cupholders and other nifty storage comparments are... probably goes along with having the 6-speed.

 

I just installed my new stereo. I got a new head unit (Clarion) with a sirius tuner. So, I still have my cubby hole. In addition to that, it also has aux inputs. So, I ran a cable out to hook up the ipod. It's very nice, as we don't have to deal with the FM Modulators on both the sirius side (we had a plug-and-play unit) and the ipod.

Looks very nice, tho. Your ipod is definately closer than mine (as mine is in the cubby hole).

i have sirius,,the sanyo model you"ll find a t walmart,,it has a big suction cup mount for the wind shield,,just so happens that the suction cup and the lever to make it suck fit perfectly in the cubby hole and stays in place with the lever up,,ran the wires thru a hole i drilled behind the cup holder into the bottom of the cubby hole, can angle the sirius up and towards me, so i have a perfect line of vision for the digital readouts,,if i knew how to get a pic in here i would,,but i don"t

 

p.s. buy sirius stock and get rich!

 

Nice install. I have my prodigy there also and I second the keys things. It drives me nuts. Mount it just a little LOWER.

great Job.

Howard Stern Fan??

 

Can't stand Stern but I bought a few shares after it was announced he was going over there. Up about 19% so far

 

I like the install, but I want to know more about that IPOD mount you are using there. Tell me about it!
