I velcro it to the big cover below the radio, plug the output into the AUX input in the center consol, run the antenna wire between the seats, under the rear rugs, tuck it in beside the rear seat, and put the quarter size antenna at the base of the rear window. Works great and I have used it in 6 cars so far. Takes 2 min. to install.

Replying to: larrymcj (Oct 02, 2007 10:49 am) We have an '08 Limited and had XM radio installed at the dealer. I don't know if the wiring is different for Sirius radio or not but the Limited comes all wired for XM radio. They just had to install the tuner somewhere under the passenger seat and plug it in. The anntenae is a small black plastic tab that rests on the inside rear deck next to the center stoplight. It's about the size of a "Roach Motel" . To be honest, I didn't care if was Sirius or XM when I purchased Sat Radio. I just chose XM as the sticker said it was pre-wired. I'm glad I did after reading about your frustration.
