I have the Delphi receiver for XM radio which is about the same shape/size of the Shuttle. I don't have a dedicated picture of where it ended up, but you can see it in this shot:

Basically, it's sitting just in front of the transfer case lever.
Thats kind where I want to put it, actually, right under the ash tray to be exact. I don't want to use the mounting kit that came with it becasue I don't believe the tape will last that long. As SLCPunk mentioned, I'll be making a trip to HomeDepot to get some brackets and fab something up so I can mount the bracket with screws on the inside of the cubby hole below the ash trya. This way, there will be no holes in the highly visible plastic around the shifter.

I have the XM Delphi radio, but that Audiovox radio is basically the same size and shape as mine, so I assume it mounts the same.

I bought an ultimount and mounted it flat on the bottom of the hump under the ashtray.

I installed it that way at first. But when I opened my rear hatch all the way, the hatch was pressing on the cable. I was afraid that it would short it out. So that's why I moved it to the front.

Do you have the Terk 3 antenna?
Based on SLC Punks warning, I went to autozone and found some little rubber feet, bump stops that were just a tad thicker than the cable to my XM.

I put them on either side of cable and secured them with a dab of silicone glue.

Now I have no worries, and I prefer this mounting location.

i'm planning on finding and fabbing a goosneck type mount. so i can move it out of the way when not needed.

btw, i just found www.siriusbackstage.com for my sirius forum needs.

for my xm tuner, that is much simpler since it uses the sony unilink bus and i just mount the sucker back in the amp rack out of the way...

That's a good idea. I should have thought of doing something like that.

Oh well it works and I don't want to mess with it anymore.

That pic is from when I got stuck in the mud with the kids at Thanksgiving. I got a bit dirty.
