got XM?
I am completely re-doing my install and since I had the entire interior ripped apart, I figure now is as good of time as any to add XM to my ALPINE 7892.
Here are some pics:
This is a shot of the XM antenna attached to the rear frame rail. I removed the inner taillight lens to access this area.
I ran the wiring for the antenna, power, and interconnect cable under the passenger seat. Disregard that red wire.
Here is the final location of the XM tuner under the pass. seat. I used velco strips to keep it from sliding around. It is very light and small, so I don't think that it will move around at all.
:cheers:

Re: got XM? (leolufse)
I'm trying to get some info together to install XM in my C5, but I have a few questions for you:
1 - Where do you find the ACC lead?
2 - Where did you run your power lead from, the battery? Where did you ground it?
2 - With the unit being under the passenger seat, does it clear the power seat controls? What about cooling issues?

One mistake that I did make was switch the switch on the bottom of the HU to aux/eq. That switch is suppose to be on "normal" and the AInet cable goes on the "output" side of the XM tuner (assuming you don't have a Alpine CD changer).
I don't have a power passenger seat, so clearance was not a problem. I don't know the exact specs, but if I had to guess, I'd say it would clear the motors in the seat.
