Let's talk about Sirius radios for a second...

[302]

I know most of yall are about fastness, but does anyone have a sirius aftermarket radio? If so, where did you mount it? I have mine mounted in the console, but i always forget to turn it off... Anyone have mounting suggestions/wiring suggestions on how to make the lighter outlet in the console turn off with the key, or have any ideas where to mount the thing outside?

You just have to wire it into something that only gets power when the ignition is on. Your cig lighter is always hot so that won't work, it'll always stay on, mine came pre installed from the factory, I thought all gt's did but I guess not

I have a factory one, but have installed aftermarket ones. Mount the module somewhere out of the way in the dash, and if you don't want to drill a hole in your roof/trunk, mount your antenna on the back deck inside the car. Wire the module into the ignition wire on the stock deck or aftermarket deck wire harness behind the radio.

You wouldnt by any chance have a diagram or atleast a wire color so i know what im looking for? Or are the wires pretty easy to trace back?

In my old mustang, I cut the power cord and spliced it into my window switch fuse and the other to a ground. I was gonna do the same with the one I have now but i can't find a good place to mount it
