I have a Sirius radio like that. my dock is hard wired in. go to tssradio site look for this item: SIRIUS Professional Vehicle Install Bundle

That is what I got.
the kit includes a direct power box to hard wire in so you dont need to use the power outlet, a direct FM modulator that you need for the best sound, and a mount. you will need antenna adaptors to install the driect FM to a factory HU, those are not in the kit. I have the RB1 with Nav, changer and steering controls so I didin't want an after market. I used a simular sirius set up in the outback I had before the Jeep with the same sirius radio.
I have mine installed under the HVAC controls where the ash tray would be if I had the smokers package, which I don't. I can post a pic later tomorrow if you want to see how that looks.
Its a good place and the best I could think of. the shifter is kinda in the way when in park but I'm driving most of the time so it don't bother me, I can still get my cell charger in and out of the outlet too. the mount swivels some too.
ya i like that setup and is yours hard wired in that pic of outlet?
I have a factory unit that I may be willing to pull out. My 07 is leased but I think I will be buying it in the next few months so I have no need for the Sirius unit. The factory head unit is already out. Let me know if you are interested.
I would recommend getting something that does not use a FM connection. Satellite radio already looses some of the sound quality without having to run through a FM station.
Just my .02.
how much w/shipping and will it fit in a 03
