XM Radio Install

elwesso · 04-01-2013, 07:53 AM

So one of the things that I absolutely have to have in my coupe is XM radio. I have a skyfi 2 radio that I move between my (2) cars and sometimes my house, and I'd really like to continue to use it like that.. Over the weekend, I was able to install the antenna. I wedged it in between the windsheld and that little cable that goes to the rear view mirror, so it's out of the way and up there nice and tight..

I would prefer to have it mounted somewhere down low under the HVAC controls, I don't like things interfering with the controls or vents, and I also think it looks kind of tacky.

I want to install a second 12v socket to run just the XM radio, so that I don't need to have the ash tray open all the time, and also so that socket is free for a cell phone charger.

I was thinking about getting some sort of swivel mount that sticks onto that little panel near the AUX input.

Any other ideas?

Check ProCip mount for Z4. Its mounting location is next HVAC by the Aux input.
