I picked up a Sirius Sportster yesterday and I'm trying to find a place in my TSX to mount it. Here's a picture of a car kit similar to the one I have.



The one I have is more of a gooseneck mount and I can't seem to find anywhere (besides the lower storage bin in the armrest) to mount this thing...and that doesn't exactly allow for easy viewing of the screen. I'm not looking to do a custom install or anything but I'd appreciate any suggestions on how to make it look decent in the car.

Anyone have any ideas?

Do you have to use that cradle? Or are there ways to hardwire the unit?

Can you post a pic of the unit?

you'll need to use the cradle, but you can skip that mount, it's huge and ugly. Get a panavise mount.

The panavise mount uses the standard AMPS bolt pattern which the Sportster cradle has as well. You'll need to drill 2 holes to install the mount behind and to the right of the cd case pocket. I just used double sided sticky foam tape and it's working fine.


In a month or two time (estimate) a company called Brix is coming out with a tuner called the Streamer Lite, which will about the size of the XM Commander ... in other words, tiny. It also wont need a cradle. It'll also be small enough to fit inside the cd case pocket.
