Hey guys i was just wondering if anyone has ever done this and what everyone thinks. I was thinking of putting an xm or sirius satelitte radio setup in my car, and i thought putting a small reciever in the sunglass holder would be tight, so anytime you want to listen to the radio, you just pull that baby down and wala (dont know how to spell wala) i think it would be very stealthy.
Here is an idea of it:

Yup, it's been done. It looks awesome. If my receiver wasn't so damn large, I'd do that. I can't "hide" mine anywhere, so I have it on a suction cup on my windshield.

 

My stereo shop mounted mine up where the A pillar meets the ceiling. It is mounted on a bracket that is attached behind the a pillar cover. Also, no wires showing as they run behind the cover as well. Can't be seen through the windshield because of my eyebrow tint.
Upsides - easy to reach all buttons, don't need to use the remote so it isn't sliding around, easy to read display, completely hidden from view (except for antenna)
Downside - Can't flip visor all the way down

 

heres mine...and if you search under SIRIUS you should find more set ups also

 

thats really hot, im lovin the look, how much did the reciever cost you, and did u install it or did a shop and how much did the shop charge you?

 

the unit and subscription where a Christmas gift and I mounted the unit myself with it hardwired to the map light feed...

this is where I installed the antenna

 

nice place for the antenna, wicked.. now i got an idea of where to put my GPS receiver for the carcomp.. tahnks Mezzler!.. btw.. where did u get those brembo brakes? ... i saw them on the net for about 3000$ USD ..... i would love to change mine like that.

 

that looks great!

 

Good idea for the antenna.

 

that has to be the best place i've seen........way better than the trunk........or the roof........keeps the car looking clean.........

 

got mine there also...
didnt have to cut anything like he did cuss my unit is small...
ill post pics 2moro for ya

 

thanks but I can't take credit for finding this spot, I saw it in another post about 3 months ago... as for the brakes, they're not Brembos they're ROTORA 4 piston I bought them off the Black Market from another member used for around 900USD and they are fvcking unreal
