Here's mine in my Pathfinder. I spliced the power wire direct to a fused source (lighter lead) that way I don't have the ugly wire straggling around to the cig lighter. No holes drilled and I hid all the wires for a tidy appearance.

Mine is just sitting on top of the cup holder where my ashtray would be. Just trying to get some ideas on how else to mount it.

I wish I had pics of mine, but it a Sirius Xact recevier, and came with a mounting base, so I just put it right in front of the cup holders, since I dont use them anyway, and hid them.

im an installer and the cleanest way to install xm or sirius in your is with a dedicated tuner on an aftermarket deck, theres no ugly box to mount and its better sound because its not transmitted over an fm station. the only reason i would get a standalone unit is if i was swapping it between two cars and home.

I use an Alpine 9856 Head Unit along with the XM Direct receiver for Alpine Head Units, as well as the XM tuner. Doesn't get any cleaner than that.
