Sirius on a CIC??

Anyone have Sirius installed on a CiC? Would love to see pics of the antenna. I think I can handle the install, but not sure about the antenna placement.

Funny you should post this today. Picked up my car yesterday and was surprised to see the Sirius antenna on the trunk with a long (thin) black connection toward the top of the trunk (there had been no discussion of this during the sale). Salesman said it's glued rather than drilled and screwed in. It's too bad the cant mount it on the windshield or something. I will post a picture for you soon. I think (like I have a choice now) I will get used to it, especially since the Sirius is so far pretty good. My son likes having ESPN News in the car.

Here's a picture of the antenna on the trunk and a picture of the inside of the trunk. It looks like the Sirius antenna wire goes to the right side to the plastic tubing holding other wires. From there, I have no idea where it goes. I do know that when they were trying to initialize the radio and had it in front of the showroom under a concrete canopy that, even though the preview channel (184) came in, the process didn't work. They moved the car outside and it still didn't seem to be working. Apparently the radio had to be turned off and back on. It still didn't work and I was told that the car I just paid for would need to be looked at for a few hours. You can imagine my happiness. However, when the SA moved the car, it suddenly worked. Can't figure that out, but it may help you if you do it yourself. Used the Sirius today and I love the variety. I printed out the channel guide from the website and after folding it in half decided that I would have it laminated to keep in the side pocket for reference. Hope this helps......

Ya ive been listening on the internet and Dish network, and im pretty close to taking the plunge. Also there is alot of talk here in NY about some of the "shock" Jock moving from radio to satellite. I already have me IPOD hooked up in the car and that sounds great.


PLease post the pic as soon as you get a chance.

Thanks

That's a coincidence for timing. Have a good night. Since Clear Channel apparently has something to do with XM, I guess if H.S. goes satellite, it'll be Sirius.

Ya Im not a huge Howard fan. There are a couple of guys who go thrown off the radio here in NY, Opie and Anthony, who were pretty fresh and raw. Thanks for the pics.



Another question. I have a bitch of a time reading the radio display if bright light(with the top up), and is NOT ledgable at all with the top down. They told me this was normal, but it kills me that I cant read the damn display half the time.
