Default Sirius install

I just picked up a Sirius Sportster Replay, and I am trying to best place to install it. i don't like the suction cup mount that came with it. I don't want it sticking on the window. I would like to install it on the dash or on the side of the radio. Has anybody intalled one yet. And if you did, where did you put it? Is there any better mounting kits for it? i would like to hard wire it so that none of the wiring is showing. If you have any pics, Please post.

I dont have any pics but... I installed my SPortster replay in the center console and ran the antenna out to the trunk lid thru the back seat. Use the power socket in the center console. Using the remote to change channels is a hassel but it works ok for me.

i have xm.......i installed in center console too, ran antenna up under back seats through trunk and up into one f the child restraints, which cap i cut to fit perfectly around my antenna......and i have the IUP and i have found that you can aim the remote at the aluminum dash and it reflects back to the radio, eliminating the odd motions to change channels lol.

I have the XM model which is similar to the Sirius Sportster model. I installed it in the center console using two way tape.

Here's some pics:





It was easy to hide the antenna wire.

Sonic,
Something along this line, correct?



This is where I placed the antenna....
