How did you mount the radio to the center console? Is it stuck on or something?

Also, I would have mounted the antenna on the rear deck but that's just my

I'm curious about the interior mounting too. Can you still open the storage bin? Losing that would be a deal-breaker for me.

I originally had my XM antenna mounted above the windshield. The installer just stuck it there without asking. I hated how it looked. Stood out too much. Now it's on the truck lid which looks much better with maybe 95% of the reception.

No u can't open the storage bin, they had a really hard time looking for a spot in the car to mount the tuner, so i had to sacrifice the storage bin because the tuner is too big to mount anywhere else. I love the way it looks there though. It's a portable tuner too so i could take it out and use it elsewhere also.

That should not be a problem. There are other members here that have mounted it on the rear deck. Anyways it's not a big deal.. it looks fine the way it is.

haha thanks

Does anyone else have the same receiver (Delphi Skyfi) do? I have looked all over but didn't find anyone with the same receiver as mine. It would be interesting to see where you guys mount ur receiver in the car.
