Then I just ran the wires over the top of the visor, down the edge of the window, and went on the top side as far as hiding it in the seals and trim. I literally just tucked it all in. Antenna is on the trunk. I just ran the wire thru the ski hole and we never use the armrest in the back seat. So the worst part about the install is the wire is visable in the trunk. Now that being said, I did have to buy an extension for the power cord at radio shack but the nice thing thing is that the end is smaller than the one from sirius and it fits perfectly in the center console...allows you to keep it closed all the time and has its own on/off switch if you are into that. Also..I just have the wires sitting on the inside top of the visor...so if you use your sun visor a lot...you will see the wires but I'm guessing it would be easy to hide or make them look neat.

I'm sure there is someone out there that is more imaginative than I am but I was looking just to look relatively clean and went with the understanding that this is only temp so I wanted to be able to remove it easily. Again, I'll get you guys some pictures later in the day. The wife has the digital camera with her at work so I'll get those later. Till then.
Looks good for temp use. How does it connect to the stero? I'm asuming that it runs off one of your fm stations, is that correct? How does it sound?

It works fine for temp use. I do run it through the fm and the nice thing is that it is right next to the antenna so I have never had any problem with static. Sound quality is the same as any local fm station. I would still rather have system that runs through the nav but this work fine for now and I couldn't beat the price.
