Default Pics of your sirius!!!

I have a 99 Z-28 and I would like to mount my receiver in the car. Can you show me some pics of your cars and also what type of bracket/where you got it.

Thanks for the help!

I just rest my Sirius receiver on my knee and play a game of trying to keep it from hitting the floor when I drive. Would you like me to post a pic?

Let's see if I can my pics posted. I use my car as a daily driver, leaving it at a train station every day, so I need a little stealth to keep the curious undersirables from breaking in. I have the radio mount above the center vents, and I ran the antenna and FM connector through the vents, and the power from the lighter stuffed in behind the face plate. The last pic shows the antenna mount inside the trunk, and I get 3-line reception in the Wash. DC area. Note that I have a ragtop.

The pics are too large to upload, I'll try and PM them too you. If you wish, I can try and email - let me know

Couldn't figure out how to include pics in PM - PM me with your email address and I'll send them to you

For a while, I had the same dilemna. Couldn't find a good spot for my Sirius Stiletto. Speaking of, what model is your Sirius that you want to install.

Eventually I came up with the idea of my Stiletto installed in the ashtray (using the home dock). I figured it would be worth posting since you probably have an auto tranny too (based on your signature).

I know this thread is already several months old, but I figured what the hell, I'll post anyway!

I know the 93-96 Camaros have the tape holder under the radio. Maybe you can build some kind of plastic wall and mount the Stratus to that (if you're not using the cassette holder for anything else).

That looks nice bro! Very good install!

I'll get some pics of mine up soon, I have the sportster and I have it mounted front left dashboard in the corner of the windshield. I had it just above the center vents, but it just got in the way of my vision.

I have the xact receiver. I still have it mounted on the window by the A pillar. I don't like how it looks but it works. The wires are hidden pretty good too. It would be nice to put it in the hole by the cig lighter but I want to put an interceptor gauge in there soon. I really like the stilleto pic. I almost bought one. Wal-Mart in my town had two for the longest time and I went in there one night and they had it on clearance for $150. I did have the money to spend at the time to get it. I am still kicking myself for not getting it. Can't beat that price!!

That's not a clearance, that's the new regular price for the Stiletto SL-10. The SL-100 also has been reduced in price to $250.
