XPLORx4 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 How big is the tuner? You might be able to place it behind the glovebox or under a front seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natedawg Posted June 5, 2007 Author Share Posted June 5, 2007 How big is the tuner? You might be able to place it behind the glovebox or under a front seat. The size is 5 wide 5 3/16 high and about 1 1/2 thick, looked under seat would be a little tight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPLORx4 Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Try removing the glove box and the glove box surround. There may be enough space behind the dash to the right of the blower motor, against the body. I installed an iPod adapter unit in that area using double-sided tape, but it's a bit smaller than 5"x5".

OBXbeachpathy Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I put my XM tuner inside the dash behind the radio/CD player unit, just kinda stuffed it back there. And the antenna is on the roof directly behind the drivers side A-pillar. It's worked great for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all your help everyone. i ended up putting the tuner under the radio, plenty of room under there, as for the antenna, i put it on the driver side rear of the vehicle on the roof, near the left rail. will post pics tomorrow.

deej Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I got mine receiver attached to the blank switch panels in the center consol, that way when I take it out I can just replace two panels and you'ld never know it was there. The antenna sits in the center of the roof at the rear of the Pathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been wanting to switch my 6 cd changer for a dvd mp3 player but loosing the steering wheel controls is what got me not to do it. got the kit at crutchfield.com i think it only works with pioneer and sony head units, the may have others for different radios. i don't think it had a brand name they just reffered to it as a PAC, and thats pretty much all the box had on it..
