im hiding the cig lighter somewhere under there too. Just trying to have a clean look as I think putting your sat radio on your dash with wires running everywhere looks kinda tacky

Looks pretty clean.

I have an Alpine CDA-9855 headunit which supports both Sirius and XM Radio. So I don't have this problem, can't beat that for the cleanest look out there. I have Sirius by the way.

well i have a crapola head unit. My kenwood supports sirius but i didn't want that thing you can just hook up because Im gettin a new Head unit soon. I know that would be the cleaner way to do it but this is the next best alternative. That and I'm not even done with it yet!
TAEnvy I would post up more pics but I'm not done yet!

looks good, pretty clean. Think it will be a PITA to mess with the dials with the shifter in front of it?

DirtyBird222: that looks really good. I mounted my GTR replay (same as starmate but black to go with my interior ) in the same location, but mine is not set in like yours. I take mine into work with me so I can listen to it on the sirius boombox I have, so I need to able to remove the unit and the wires easily . I dont have any problems hitting mine when I shift but that looks 100x better thay way you did it.

Also the fm modulator that sirius sells is awesome, it plugs between your sirius unit, and deck. Your car antenna hooks to the modulator so when your sirius is on you have a direct connection between your radio and your sirius. I have a few area's on my drive home where I pick up some static, but not no more.
