Does anyone have a Sirius or XM portable in their car? If so, is there any way I can install it without having wires running all over the cabin? I am grateful that there are hidden 12V power outlets, but I don't like the idea of having a plug coming out of the front of the head unit to the AUX IN and the antenna wire running over the center console.

Is there any plug in the back of the head unit for an auxuliary input? I really don't want to change the head unit.

im in the same situation and honestly, im at the point of canceling my Sirius subscription. I hate having wires all over the place and an out of place screen. I cant seem to find a place i like for it...SO....I may upgrade my stereo with the XM...besides, before we know it, they will merge anyways...i dunno, just my thoughts

If there's an interface for the XM unit, there must be a way to hook up the Sirius unit to that same interface... I don't want to rip apart my brand new car to find out. I was hoping maybe someone else has done it already....

I have a Sportster5 and basically I have it mounted to the thingy it comes with which then sits in my "ash tray", it is connected via aux input and the sntenna is run under the steering comlumn, up (inside) the A-pillar, under the sun visor and out the sunroof...the only thing that sucks is the power cord, I have everyting tucked in ok, but I'd love to use my OEM but I don't want XM...its about the best I could ccome up with fir the time being, i Had built-in Sirius in my Titan, I hope XM.Sirius Merger goes through soon.
