Default XM Onyx Install

Hi,

I have an 03 coupe and an 04 Z06. The coupe has a CD in the radio and a 12 disc changer in the back. The Z only has the CD in the radio. I just got an XM Onyx radio which I would like to use both in the house and switch back and forth between the Corvettes. I know I will need two vehicle kits. Right now I only have the one. Has anyone attempted to put this into their coupe or Z06? I know I will need an adapter for the unit to feed off the speakers in the car. Any suggestions? Does anyone have any suggestions on placement of the unit and antenna. I've read other postings but most of them that I have found have been from a few years ago and with different units than the Onyx. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!!
