Great! That thing runs circles around any ipod or other player...I am digging the feature that lets you save a song you are currently listening to, to make your own library...I hate uploading, burning, paying for songs, etc The Stiletto gets around all that crap. It IS the future of radio!!!!!!

Did you make that bracket holding it to the pass. side?

Yes, I forget to ask him that. And, is it using an aux in, or the FM antenna approach? I have no aux in on the stock head unit, so I need to know if the FM antenna sounds good.

I'll try to post a picture of where my Sirius antenna is in my C5 when I get home. I am currently using the tape adaptor in the C5, but do use the inline FM Modulator on the other cars and it works great.

I used the Sirus plug in antenna adapter between the radio and the Sirus receiver and it works really well (you also need an adapter to change from the large antenna plug to the small one on the radio). My antenna is mounted to the top of the rear end over the tail lights via double sided tape, it has held up for over a year.

I used the Professional Vehicle Install Kit sold by Sirius (it's on their web page...Model#: SIR-PVK1)...works perfect and no issues. No fade in and out like other FM adaptors...it's really impressive. I modified the braket that came with that kit to install as seen in my pic. The antenna I placed on the dash with sticky tape. Works well and have had no issues, but you can read in this forum several places to place the antenna. I have been thinking latley maybe putting it in the dash vent up under the window. I have the antenna wire routed around the glove box and you cannot see it at all. Looks almost professional LOL. The hardest part for me was crafting the bracket but in the end it wasn't that big a deal. Lots of bending and re-bending and some dremek work. Nice coat of flat back pait on the bracket to hide the paint flakes and looks really good. You can buy the braket from this place http://www.installer.com/mounts/chevroletmounts.html (which is where I got the idea) I was very satisfied with how it turned out.

Fantastic...I am on it. BTW, Sirius offers some great deals to folks who already have an account...my Ford Flex subscription counts! The Stiletto is around $239 including car kit!!!

Ok.. little later than expected, but here are the pics of my antenna.



Just ran it through the passenger door and then through the back of the glove box.



Have been getting great reception with it there.

Someone had posted this somewhere else, so it definately not an original idea of mine, but the way the search has been working today... I'm not looking
