I just finished installing a XM Commander. I had to run to this forum two different times to look up information. Thanks to everyone who post How-To's.

The ash tray is still accessible. I wanted to be able to put everything back to stock later, so I fabricated a new ash tray door out of plexiglass to mount the commander in.

I got a sheet of carbon fiber vinyl off of Ebay and covered the plexi. I was going to paint it black but I wanted to try something a little more flashy
