[s-cars] Sirius/XM box mounting ideas

[David Kase]

Welcome to Sirius!  It took you long enough!  I have had it about 16 
months - can not and will not listen to terrestrial radio again.

Anyway, I tried a few positions and they all sucked.  I finally ended up 
putting it in the knee tray under the dash of my CQ.  I realize this 
doesntt apply to an UrS car but maybe you have room somewhere below the 
dash.

It is not the easiest thing to reach but it isn't horrible either.  I 
decided to give up a little convenience for a more stealth look.

Good luck,
Dave Kase

20 when I get the shits of him)
