Default Ashtry transformations?

I have been doing searches for ideas on what people have installed in place of the ashtray. I would like to put a sirius install there instead of the center compartment where I have it now, a temporary install gone wrong.

Any pics of sirius installs there or other solutions, please share your pics and homegrown solutions.

I removed the ash tray lid and mounted the Sirius receiver on the right side. This left the lighter open for a Garmin FM Receiver install.
