ok, so i got an xm radio and was fooling around installing it and came up with the absolute best place to mount it. For anyone thinking about doing this, this is the way to go!!

so, i ran the antenna up through the little places that are for child restraints(no children lol). Then i cut the cover to fit perfectly with the xm antenna, and ran the wires to the console. There is only one place where the wire shows and that is behind the console for about 1 inch!!! i think its great and i get perfect reception!!

pretty neat. Nice idea

sonicblue05

yeah,i just thought id share in case someone else wanted to do it

GGIII

Just got done doing that. As far as installing your head unit, I'll post detailed instructions in a new thread tomorrow. I have ZERO exposed wires. ZERO.

Yea its a great idea except you are about a month late with it lol...

I put a post up a few weeks ago about running the antenna back there..
Its an awesome place for it nonetheless, I'm glad you put it there it looks nice and as if it belongs

you do it after you read this or before?
yeah i could pull the carpet there and cover the wire, takes about five minutes, but i was called to dinner......lol

sonicblue05

coolman,i have never seen itand it just came to me LOL

great minds think alike i guess.......i think your antenna is bigger than mine though

skilz4u2nv

yea...

my xm module is under the drivers seat and i ran the antenna wire under the carpet, behind the panel in the rear and under the rear dash, up through the lil opening that i drilled... cant see not one wire

my antenna is on steriods compared to yours... which i had yours so I could hide it better like you did

sonicblue05

yeahi just noticed you didnt cut anything. i cut my little cover thingy so it fits down in the hole. so i am original! in your face! lol im just kidding there
