My Inexpensive Sat Radio Solution
Since I'm only interested in XM Satellite radio for the next couple years, I decided to purchased one of those small onyX XM receivers that comes with a car mounting kit. Saw it at WalMart for $60. It's complete with magnetic antenna and all. It plugs into the AUX plug and plays through the OEM car radio. I have to admit, it does work very well, with crystal clear reception. I've run a couple errands with it and it never cut out. I stuck the antenna on the roof, just between the regular radio antenna and the rear window. I ran the wire under the rear rubber window seal as earlier posts suggests. The hardest part is finding a place for the docking station. I comes with multiple mounting solutions. I think I'm going to check with the dealer to see if I can purchase an extra plastic OEM radio outer dash bezzel so I can drill and mount to the right side of it. I just couldn't stand the FM radio stations in my area. (I'll bet the plastic dash part cost more than my radio)
