Monted an XM MyFi and Ipod in the Max
The "purists" might think its a bit of a hack, but it works for me. The ipod is running thru the casette player (since I will NEVER use it for anything other than that) and the MyFi is running thru the FM transmiiter. Both actually sound really good (very surprisingly) and I am having a friend hard wire both power cords so I won't have to run them off the lighter.

I decided to mount the MyFi for 2 reasons- I got the MyFi CHEAP....$125. I have a friend who got it as a prize and he didn't want it, so I got it from him. I also like being able to take it out and use it at the gym, etc. At some point I might shell out the bucks for the Nissan module, but for now it will work fine.
As far as seeing the Ipod, its not too bad during daylight, I am tall and sit with the seat all the way back so I can usually see it when I want to. I tend to just run it on the shuffle and hit the forward button if I don't want to hear the tune that is on, and its easy enough to just pop off and search for a song or whatever when I am stopped at a light.

That is a great price. The problem here in Brooklyn is that I would have to take this out everytime I parked or it would not be there when I got back.

How did you mount the ipod? Is there sticky tape or velcro under there?
