Installing Satellite radio in 2.5TL

Now that I'm spending 2 hours in my car and getting tired of the availabe stations I'm looking at putting a Sirius receiver in the car. I need the portable unit as I'll need to bring it in the house for NFL games. I was looking at the Clarion.

Where are people mounting these in their 1st gen TLs? I don't want to mar my dash by screwing it permanently or by using those adhesives. Does anybody have a better idea or ways of installing it?

Thanks for the help!
Kevin

Under the radio... above from where the supposed "Cigarette Tray" is... that little crevise, krevis, creves... damn it how do you spell that... that spot where the dash ends under the stereo and above the coin tray with the cigarette lighter...


forgot to add... There's a little carpet area there... it can come off with just a little pull on both sides to expose this aluminum thing... check it out...

Exactly. Thats where the previous owner of my vehicle put the little control panel for the 10 disc cd changer.

Hey don't get Sirius, get XM. I have heavly used both and have found XM much better. You can just go to Best Buy and get the "Roady 2" system and they will hard wire it to the car for you. It has a FM transmiter built in so there are no problems with your radio. Also you can just detach it from the car and bring it inside just like the Sirius. Soon there will be a really neat boom box for $200, or you can wire it to a current audio system with a free rebate like thing.
