XM Roady!
Well guys I can vouch for the XM Roady. It works great! I purchased the SNHOND3 for the direct interface with the factory head. I mounted the Roady in the upper storage compartment. It looks great here as you can shut the compartment door and it is out of sight. I mounted the antenna externally on the rear part of the roof. Looks great there as it is so small and it is easy to hide the wire along the rear glass. Running the wire from that point was also pretty easy. Just ran it through the trunk to the back seat, then tucked it along the passenger side under the threshold trim then up the front right kick panel, then over to the back of the center console. The most difficult part of the install was finding a 12v switched power lead. The one I finally located supplies the cigarette lighter but is not easy to excess as you have to cut into the harness. Since the Roady operates at 6 volts and was unable to locate a 12v to 6v in-line converter, I spliced in a female cigarette adapter and then plugged in the supplied adapter which came with the Roady. Drilled a small hole in the rear of the compartment to run all the cables to the Roady. I also experienced ignition noise so the ground isolater is a necessary. Radio shack has it and it includes the RCA Y-connecter. I did not have any problems locating places behind the compartment for all of the adapters. It sounds great and looks great also. Will supply picture if requested.
