How and where did you install your aftermarket sateltite radio. Thinking of a wireless unit but not sure about the antenna. Would love to see pictures of how you did it.

Quote, originally posted by desert_dweller »XM MiFiI put the antenna by the stock antenna ran the wire between the top and the hatchback in the molding till I got to the part betweeen the front and back passanger door--down that molding under the passanger seat and into the console it sits in the compartment under the gear shift. FM wireless built in. Have the power comming out of the center console.Works like a champ....looks OK.What type of mount did you use? I have a Roady2 that I want to install in my Vibe and haven't found the perfect mount. I don't want to do any mods at all. I'm thinking of using the Arkon SR-088 or Arkon SR-033.

I used the window mount in my F150 but I want something more discrete and less obtrustive in my Vibe.http://www.arkon.com/xm_mount.php

eilros,I'm using flexable mount to hold my myfi. I've got it attached to the passenger front left seat/floor bolt. It shoots forward then I bend it up to position the myfi in the space between the shifter and passanger seat front left corner. Orginally I had it come straight up from the seat/floor bolt, but it stood too high for me.I think the Flexible mount does a good job being adjustable yet stays where you put it without moving around while driving.Namron

I'm glad to hear that the flexible mount works well. Do you use the standard flexible gooseneck or the swivel version?-----------------Swivel VersionRegular Version

I have a Sirius Sportster mounted in my car... You can see it here. Pretty good spot for it for the most part. Not the best for visibility, but if you're flipping through the channels when in preset tuning mode it's not a problem.

I believe I'm using the Regular Version. I vagily remember but I think it was the Akron 66.Hope this helps.

profit mount. its a small metal bracket that attaches to the screws under the chrome trim. antennae ran like his above.

Did you use a special mount for the Sportster?

Nope, everything I used was included with the car kit.

Here's where my XM used to be.

That's an awesome install ragingfish. I want to keep mine down near the console though.

I went with the Arkon SR-033 Cup Holder mount. Here are some pics:

I used the adhesive mount supplied by Delphi with my Roady II. Populated InstallMount & Wiring DetailI routed the antenna through the sunroof area. I suppose I could have routed the wire under the headliner, but when I originally did it I wanted to make sure I could un-do it for use in other cars -- since I've made it pretty much permanent.
