Ok I just bought the S50 Sirius satellite radio tuner. I had the idea of running into the ashtray as it would sit there and not fall out.......without the cable hooked up to the back. Well had everything run and the cables are too bulky for it to sit in there right. Looking for options. I'd like to see some of your installs on your satellite tuners. Looking for ideas other than the standard ugly ass mount that sits on your console. Thanks.
Here is the one that I bought.

Well it looks like no one has this tuner. Anyways, here are some pics of the install. DIdn't take any closeups, but it flows really well....only if the screen was amber. :( Other than that I love it!

Looks great, how did you hook that up, did you use the fm modulator or another way to get the best signal out of it.

THanks man. I hardwired it in. I used the line out connection on the tuner, and ran a Y cable to my glovebox where a multimedia switch sits for the HU and hooked into the RCA inputs. I bought another car kit for my grand am but I just used the FM modulator to hook that up. Suprisingly, it sounds better than I expected.
I couldn't pass it up. It was 80 bucks at best buy after the rebate. It included the car kit.
