Gunna get XM where should i put the screen for it

I am unfortunately one of the few who can't figure out how to post pics. I've tried to attach them through the "Browse" button and even the "IMG'" button, I've even used the Search button to see how others have done it. I attach photo's in other forums and e-mails but no luck here.
That's why I don't have any posted.

I used the Delphi (wired behind the dash) FM Modulator. Much better than the the wireless modulator that comes with the sky fi 2. It sounds as good (if not better) than the radio and I haven't lost a signal. I love it!! No more changing the FM station to get better sound. When installing I left enough wire to be able to use it in either cup holder. I was picky about the wires showing and I am pleased. Other pics I have seen make the sky fi 2 look like a taxi cab meter cause it's up too high.

Wish I could show pictures.

I just had the XM Commander installed in my sunglass/garage door opener compartment today. I will post up a pic of it by Sunday so you can see what it looks like.

I'm happy with the location as it hides the unit from thieves and is very easy to access when using it. It's also an ultra clean install with no wires exposed. I have the antenna mounted on the passenger side of the dash as well.

The only downside to this type of install is it obstructs the vision in rear view mirror slightly when you have it open. You can however keep it closed and it will not alter the performance.

To all

Sirius Radio has the exclusive rights to all of the NFL Football games while XM has acquired the exclusive rights for MLB Baseball starting in this '05 season. Both systems offer the NBA games. I listen to the west coast games every night whenever I start to work. BTW, I got the Sirius unit for the NFL and not Howard Stern. He just happen to land on this satellite service after I'd bought a 2 yr subscription. Sirius is $12.95/mo with nothing extra (every channel is included in yearly price) and XM is $9.95/mo plus extra for preminum channels. I hope this helps in your decision.

Actually there are currently only two premium channels offered by XM: Playboy and the Andy and Oppy show. I don't have either and I love XM. Also there is a price increase going into effect on April 2nd. XM will be the same price as Sirius. XM still offers discounts though if you purchase a whole year or more at a time.

Also Sirius uses a single satalite and XM uses two: Rock and Roll. Since I work for Boeing, I subscribed to XM. You see, Boeing put the satellites in synchronus orbit and I got a discount on the XM commander.

I love the receiver, but any time you use a modulator, you have to consider the Toyota diversity FM antenna. I think I have a way around this and as soon as I get my OEM Nav system, I'm going to test my theory.
