Sirius Install - Gmt900

[onntn87]

I had a Sirius Starmate 5 Dock and Play radio sitting around from my Chevy and was paying for it so I figured I might as well install it into my Sierra. I was getting fed up with the reception from XM and really like the artist alert functions as well as replay. I used the factory windsheild suction mount and modified it a bit and utilized the 2 holes in the dash pocket where there was a rubber piece inside. (See Pics) I ran the antenna wire along the headliner and out the 3rd brakelight and put some clear silicone around the wire to prevent leaking. (See Pictures)

 

The only thing I'm not happy with is how to power the unit. Currently I'm using the provided DC plug, but would like to direct wire it into the truck but don't want to go cutting anything. I was wondering if anyone out there has pulled power from somewhere realitively easily. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

 

Now for the pictures.

 

 

I think it's a good location to mount it.

I have the XM color version of that and loved it. If this truck had not had XM already in it I would have reused mine. I really miss being able to see what is playing on the other stations and the artist select.

Is that a custom mount? Kit for newer GM full sizes?

Yeah it was custom. All I did was turn the windshield mount sideways and bolt it into the dash. Came up with the idea myself.
