97 + Interior, Where to mount the Roady 2 XM Radio?
97 + Interior, Where to mount the Roady 2 XM Radio?
I've run out of idea's. I wanted it to not look tacky for when I attend car shows and I WANTED to completely replace the Ashtray in the Center Console and mount it there however, that might not be an option for two reason's... One being I can't remove the AshTray door without fear of breaking it completely which I might need it again incase this doesn't workout right. The other being I would most likely have to dremel out all the insides of the Center Console's plastic, the parts that support the Ashtray and once again if it doesn't work out right, I would have screwed up my car... Nor do I have a dremel / drill like that anyway... Any other ideas? It's a device about the size of a radar detector... Pic below

I'm trying to decide where to put mine. I bought it for the Camaro but so far the Fiancee has managed to comandeer it for the winter for her Jeep. I was planning on mounting it inside the armrest to keep it out of site. I'm also going to look into mounting it to the little cubby in front of the shifter. I know it won't fit IN there but I might be able to rig it so it sits in front of it with the mount being in the cubby. On another forum I heard someone mounting it on their visor. I have the home kit with remote for mine so I can use the remote if I put it somewhere not easily in reach. I don't want to hack up my console to fit it in there either.

Either a custom mold in to an abs replacement headline that flips down, or a fixed placement in the headliner. I think it could be done very nicely with some patience and practice mock-up.

I would suggest mounting it inside of the visor...

Also how do you remove the Driverside Cigar lighter? (One closest to the Den) .. I'm thinking about just putting it there...

Sorry about the hold up on the pics. I don't know how to post pics so I just made a page on my CarDomain site. Click on the site in the sig and go to page 7. If you need anymore info just let me know.
