Advice on where to mount XM Radio Modulator/Receiver..
I am going to install my XM Radio this afternoon and I was wondering if anybody has done the install before and where you put the Modulator (box). I wanted to get some ideas on where to mount it.. Thanks.

Rep Power: 471 I got the XM Ready2.. I dont know if you are familiar with that one but you have to have it visible because I control it from the box.. not my radio.

Rep Power: 0 in commercials, they placed them on the dash. It doesnt look too bad on the cars in the commercials. I was seriously considering getting one after I listened to xm on a 9 hour trip to colorado. I loved it! Dash or door maybe?
Sometimes, I can see right through myself ...

It might have to be hardwired into a 12v source, and that's gonna be a PITA to do. Besides, your headlights and gauges shouldn't take too long to do. I can do the other stuff while waiting for the sealant to dry on your headlights.
