I do have a stilletto 1 on mine...till I get my new head unit.

after my 3 mo. free xm is up i need to install my stilletto which i have lifetime sirius.. looking for mounting options and how to hard wire it.

I installed a 12v oulet behind the dash that gets power with the ignition that way the stilletto goes on and off every time you turn the key and that way I can hide the plug, I installed the car kit with the 3m tape and put it inside the passenger side dash pocket..it does not look great but it works and also theres not wires laying on the floor or around the console..

on the 12 volt. where did u tie it in? where did you get the hot wire from?

Check out the thread below. In the pictures you can see a junction box behind the brake pedal. In that box is a bluish green connector with a yellow wire. That yellow wire is a RAP wire. On with the key, stays on with the radio after the key is off. You can run off of this wire to a relay and use this as the signal wire. Then run a constant power wire (I used power off the cigarette lighters) to this relay and a wire from this relay to wherever you need it (I installed another cigarette lighter under the dash). This way I had a cigarette lighter that would turn on and off with the radio.

 

The reason I installed another cigarette lighter instead of just wiring straight into my power wire for my sirius was because my cigarette lighter plug actually stepped the voltage down from 12v to 5v. If I would have just cut the end off and wired it directly, it would have burned up the unit from getting too much voltage.

 

Any questions, please feel free to pm me.
