XM Radio Install

Anyone done a great looking install on an XM radio with the aftermarket "Roady" or "Roady XT"?

Mine is hanging from the center AC vent right now and is in dire need a a better home

. I keep looking at the area where the ashtray and lighter are located, but haven't figured out exactly how to tackle it yet.
Hoping to hear / see some cool installs.

dont think the roady series will fit in the ashtray. about the only one i know of is the xm commander. very little trimming, and looks like it was made to fit inside the ashtray. besides, nobody needs to smoke in a corvette anyway -

reference the audio section, plenty of installs there - do a search

Thanks everybody. Didn't see the Audio Forum when I was looking around. I take another (hopefully more thorough) look around.

Not to hijack the thread, but does XM still offer a price reduction to renew service? Mine is about to expire. If so, does anyone have the #? Seem to recall something about a Retention offer. Thanks.

How about this. It's the original Roady, on aswivel mount that fits in the cupholder. Simple, clean, and easily removed.

if i'm understanding you're question, they (xm) offered a package about a year ago. the deal was when the service went from $9.95 to $12.95 /month, existing customers could lock in lower rates for some period of time - 1 year to 5 years, and the price/month varied according to the length of service you wanted. i locked mine in for 5 years at something like $8.33 month ($500 for 60 months of service). the only problem was, you had to pay for it up front - in one big payment. i didn't care, since i really enjoy sat radio.
