u can go to www.pro-fit-intl.com and they have mounts that you can use for satellite radios or cell phones. it's specific to the car just look it up and it shows you where it will be installed and how it looks...hope that helps

I have the sirius receiver for an Alpine HU..

I mounted the sirius receiver for my alpine head unit under the passenger seat. I pulled the seat out, removed the trim on the passenger side by the door sill and placed a small piece of mdf under the carpet and routed the wires down the center console and then under the carpet and out the same hole in the carpet that is already there for the seat wiring. Nice and clean and if you slide the passenger seat all the way forward, you can access the receiver very easily if needed. (to replace a fuse to the receiver if you have to). The Sirius receiver I have is the new one on the market made specifically for the XM ready Alpine receivers. This receiver however allows you to have Sirius radio instead of XM. Plus the receiver was only like $75. instead of the $250. that the XM Alpine receiver demands. I like it! Just be sure and route your ground wire for the satellite receiver to the same one as your radio or at least keep the ground lead as short as possible, or else you will get a slight whinning sound that can be annoying. Good Luck.

info on the receiver. I know there was a unit out that worked with the newer SAT ready alpines but I have an older xm only alpine. Can you control it through your head unit? Or does it just go in the aux port of the head unit?
