Pics of your satellite radio install?

So I just got Sirius (Sportster 4) and I can't decide where/how to install it in my '03 LX. Any suggestions? It would be great to see some other setups before I start hiding wires everywhere.

Re: Pics of your satellite radio install?

Thanks for the suggestions...

I'm probably going to go with some double sided tape like electric130 did. At some point I might swap out the stock HU for an aftermarket with integrated satellite, so a less permanent install seems like the way to go.

I looked at an installation bracket similar to the one christmaspie posted... Does anybody know if you have to make any cuts to put that there? I'm a little weary of slicing up the dash board in case I decide I don't want this thing after a few months.

Keep those pics comin!

Re: Pics of your satellite radio install?

You will not have to cut the face of the dash or any of the trim for it to work. It is a good way to mount a temp sat unit.
