Rookie question...XM Radio Receiver Install

[TXSUT]

So my wife got me an XM radio reciever for Christmas, and I'm due to have it installed tomorrow. Where should I have them install it, on the overhead console (SUT with sunroof)? That's where the Car Toys sales slug told her they put them in H2s...you know, the whole "We do them all the time" sales pitch.

Thanks,

Pete

Your factory radio should be set up to accept XM! Shouldnt it????

Do it yourself I still have Klaus's install docs if you want them.

I suck at that kind of work, so I'd prefer to have it done. Can you just tell me where you think the best place to mount the receiver would be?

Push the band button and see if goes to XM.

Yeah, it's an '05 SUT, but all I have are FM and AM band selections...and there's no XM antenna on the roof.

Tell them to install a TURK XM kit then there is no question where you mount it.Because it will play through your radio head.An antenna will be added by running the wire up the A pillar out through the clearence lamps.
