i think it looks pretty good.

controls might be hard to get to and see though, especially while driving.
 
I like it, do share how you did it!

Oh, and nice purse!
 
Looks good! Hide those cords, though. Here's my Starmate 1 install. I did this ~4 years ago....

Nice and clean. Like how it matches the painted trim parts.

Took me a few glances to figure out what you guys were talking about socks. Someone is always commenting on other things in the picture. From now on any pics I post on here aren't going to have anything else to comment on or I will deliberately put objects in the picture, kind of like a where's waldo or I spy!
 
Cool now we just need ore pics of where it actually mounts and how it was done.

On a side note-just a rant- I now hate Sirius! I pay over 100 a year just for one station. All others annoy the hell out of me and the Metal station is all I listen to. I also mind you hate Metalica and I know they must play it 3-4 times a day on average.

Now, the station is all Metalica for a few weeks or something. Nothing but Metalica! IMO it sucks. They already played it enough during the day and as if I wanted to listen to Metalica that bad I would have taken my last two payments ( 100$ each ) and bought every damn Metalica CD.

Sorry, carry on:D

I feel your pain! I used to love Sirius; now I spend as much time flipping stations as I did with regular radio! If things don't change by the end of my current subscription I'll be looking at either HD (whatever High Definition radio is :confused: ) or maybe an ipod interface.

IMHO, the merge may have been good for them, but it stinks for the subscriber!
 
looks great, the only thing i would change is, i would have the wires come straight back onstead of down so you couldnt see them, that why the antenna conector is set in a little more than the FM out plug.

Really? That sucks. I was looking into buying the necessary stuff to interface it with my AVIC because I'm TIRED of local radio around here. They changed the ONLY rock station to like a pop/top 40 one. Sucks.

i dont care how bad some people say it is, it is never as bad as regular radio, if you get the XM tuner for your D3 you can also get NavTraffic, all but about 5 music channel are the same, the only difference is the news, talk, and sports channels

All I can seem to find is a Sirius tuner. They're one and the same now, no?

they are the same company, but there are still two different programming options, XM or Sirius. the only reason i mention it is because the sirius adapter isnt made by pioneer, its made by directed, and i have seen a few problems where it wont reconize the tuner after a while and you need to unplug it and plug it back in. there are actually two different XM modules one is the regular XM tuner (gex-p920xm) and the NavTraffic (gex-p10xmt) which gives you traffic info with your nav (which does cost a little more) and the XM antennas are a lot more durable (i replace about 10-12 sirius antennas a month due to warrenty as opposed to 1-3 xm antennas. the music programming is pretty much the same with the exception of about 5 channels, the biggest differance is the non music programing (stern, martha stewart, NFL, MLB, ect)
