my new sirius

Nice. My buddy's older brother put one in his 3G runner recently. It was crystal clear with none of those damn blips that I get from my 4G stock HU.

Btw, you better fill your gas tank. The low fuel warning light was the very first thing I noticed in your pic.

That is a nice install. I installed the Starmate Replay by myself because I don't like people ripping apart my truck. Is the receiver connected directly to your headunit?

Nice install. I like how you did it.

I purposely wanted it out and visible so i don't have to lose focus on the road while i'm driving...a cleaner flush install by the shift knob was possible but you lose too much focus while you're driving with the unit down so low....by the way...any way to change the color of the sirius screen to match the rest of my electronic lighting?

Nice clean install. Was there a special bracket involved ?

Don't know about your model but the Sirius Sportster can be changed to orange, although marginally darker than the color already on the HU.

Nice... Where did you get the bracket?

BTW... stop playing with the Sirius and get some gas.

Small plastic L bracket with Velcro....simple and effective...run the wires behind the plastics, pretty simple stuff...you can mount the thing pretty much anywhere cuz it's so small...but i recommend where it's easiest to see

Just my 2cents...

Once you have been using the radio for a while you'll end up with some presets - channels you always listen to. It's easy to hit the preset buttons pretty much anywhere within arms reach without looking at the facia.

I use the remote a lot too, which takes away from having to look at the screen at all.

Now that Howard Stern is on the air, I don't change stations that much

Niiiiice install!!! I like that. Looks slick. I was going to get that unit, but I liked the 5 or 6 viewable lines in the Sportster Replay model.

Moderatorgod: you should probably move this to the Audio and Electronics forum. That's where most people would do their searching for installs like this.

You need gas! The Almond Brothers? Better change the station.....and watch out for those two dogs!

 

[johnkent3]

It's nice to look at the screen to see which band is playing....i use sirius to find new music to download for my IPOD....I filled gas i promise! And i missed the dogs thank god!

and....HOW can you not like the ALLMAN BROTHERS? MAN ALIVE!

I moved the thread to the Audio and Electronics section so it is easier for people to find.

What station were you listening too? I am a fan of the Allman Brothers as well!
