need advice, how should I set up my new xm roady?

I got a new xm roady how should i set it up?

doesnt look like theres room on the the center console so i was thinkin of puttin it on the passenger side next to the left vent. that way i can run the wire to the power adapter on the side with minimal ugliness. and it comes with a wireless adaptor so i dont have to use the cassette adaptor.

any suggestions for an easy setup that looks nice?

can you fit it in the sunglasses holder?

and if there is an rca output available for this unit you might want to look into that w/ the blitzsafe adapter....the fm modulator won't have the best sound quality.

I put it into the sunglass holder. You will have to run the wires through the headliner and down the piller into the fuse box.. I had it connected with a blitzsafe adapter. I put the antenna on the dash...

It fits perfectly into the sunglass holder...

the headliner is the inside roof liner. Teh material piece above your head. The pillar is the piece inbetween the windshield and side windows. It extends from the dash to the head liner. You run a wire behind the headliner, down the pillar and connect it to the fuse box. For my radar detector, i just wrapped the wire around oner of the metal plugs on the accesory fuse. Took me less than 5 minutes to do my radar i have hardwired to the visor. Hope this helps you. If you have any questions pm me or post em up.
