go to
www.webpost.net
open a free account by clicking on login
then upload them on that site. They are reliable and free.



BTW I ended up getting Sirius radio. They were running a deal for $50 for the Kenwood system that I couldn't pass up. I will post pics this weekend.

Looks good. I installed mine in the pocket under my stereo.

Where did you put the antenna?
I put mine on the roof, toward the back. I fed the wire through the 3rd brake light hole. I only had 1 inch of wire left. Talk about close!!

thanks for the compliments.

I would have like to put mine on the dash, but with the nav screen built into there, I had no room.

Here is an old picture of the dash, I've done a few changes to it but nothing major.

custom dash

The antenna is mounted on the roof in the rear. Jut make sure you read the instructions on which way to face the antenna based on which region you will be in.

Also make sure when you mount it on the dash your able to angle it to read the screen easily. good luck with it

I can't pull up the pic..

Oh I didn't read the instructions for the antenna, I just slapped it on there. It works though..

I better read the instructions to make sure it is facing the right way.

I never read the instructions either, but doesn't it seem weird to orientate an antenna based on region, on a vehicle that will be moving?

I am just putting in my 2 cents work. I have had XM for over a year now, and there is no way I would ever get rid of it. I have driven from Atlanta to: Cleveland, OH (when the power failed and that was fun), Orlando FL, Charlotte NC and Richmond VA and never had a dropped signal. The only time I have ever gotten a dropped signal was parking at the Atlanta airport in the covered section. Other than that, I have never had a dropped signal.

I read a post earlier about the cost, well the 9.95/m is worth it when you can actually listen to a wide variety of music instead of all those stupid jokes (well some of them) on the morning radio.

I have a few pictures of the install that I did. Althought I would highly recommend and after market system that is XM compatible, I really don't like my XM controller because it does not show all the informaiton on the display. But the quality is awesome, better than I expected with the FM modulator.
