I've got an XM radio (seperate, back before they came installed in cars/stereos), and have been scratching my head as to where to mount it . I need ideas (and pics) please. Thanx!

you want to know where to mount the radio or where to mount the antenna. With the factory system the antenna is mounted on the sport bar next to the sound bar under the pad.

No I mean where are yall mounting the actual receiver...like the "Roady 2" (or whatever model). I'm struggling to find a location to mount it.

Don't they usually just stick to the windshield?

Do you need to mount a control head or a small box containing a circuit card receiver?

Remove the glove compartment. Up behind the air bag is a flat metal plate. There is about 1.5" between the metal plate and the HVAC vent pipe. Mount to the metal plate. Use a good quality 2-way tape or drill the metal plate. I don't know what is behind that metal plate so drill carefully.
