XM radio mount I recently installed XM radio in my 02 Z.. I have the stand alone unit that mounts off somewhere else and is wired into the indash radio.. I tried to use the adhesive strip and mounth it to the dash but after a couple weeks it fell off 
.. Just wondering where everyone else has mounted theres and how.. I dont want to screw into my dash and I have a 6 speed so I cant really see how I could mount it on the center console.. any ideas?..

Say hello to my solution 
Works great for an Auto. M6 may have to route it a bit different.

I used the VSM (vehicle specific mount) for my T/A, put the Skifi too far out, and blocked the passenger cup holder, so I changed radios to a Roady2 ($56.00 @ Amazon with the coupon code)

Not XM but you could probably do something similar. All I did was use the existing screw that holds that panel in and ran it through the mount with the adhesive tape that came with it. Hasn't budged! It doesnt hit your knees and its easy to see.

That Sirius unit sucks in keypad design. the JVC of similer shape is far better.
Its hard to find good mounting places for these big screened addon devices. the Sony XM01 and Kenwood H2A were a far better look for cars like ours and sedans. Trucks, SUVs, ect don't have the same issues as ours as far as mounting goes.

Mine was real easy, just snap off the trim ring around radio/hvac, and bend a chunk of sheet metal to hug the dash. Drill holes that mount to sat. controller, and a pair of holes to mount where the factory radio mounts, and screw it down. I spent maybe fifteen minutes on this. If you need pictures, I can get some this weekend.
Not a SkyFi, but here's a pic of my Roady installation. Just an idea. The picture was actually taken before I moved it a bit more to the right, so there is hardly any of the bracket visible anymore.
