I am about hardwire in my XM (using the original cord and female adapter method). Where have you guys spliced it into? I am looking for an easy spot where I can still hide all the wires.

Thanks!

 

I'm going to splice mine in behind the cigarette lighter. Just pop the panel out and splice in.

 

Just behind the dash, there's plenty of room for it

 

There's just enough room to solder a lead on the blade between the cig lighter and the plug.

 

the audio/electronics forum will have your answer. im sure someone has already done this.

 

best way is to lose XM and get sirius!

 

100% agreed sirius is much better than xm

 

Where do you plan on putting the antenna?

 

if only there was an audio/electronics forum that would have all these answers

 

with my xm install, i put the brain on the passanger side down by the foot well behind the plastic piece on the bottom right side. I hard wired it into the cig lighter (so it turns on and off with the ignition. This location allowed me to easily run the wires down the plastic pieces by the door jams and place the antena on my trunk lid. Good luck.
