For those with XM, how is your receiver mounted?

I snagged an ONYX unit from Best Buy today... really like it already but the mounts that came with it suck for the FIT.. the stick on the dash one doesn't work well for the airbags and the vent mount feels floppy.

I'm thinking suction cup.. though ugly.. or the friction mounts that are like a bean bag almost. Anyone have any input?

I'm also going to get a GPS soon.. and that means I'll need to expand my power outlets.. any ideas on that?

I have a GPS from Best Buy, but need a mount. I found an outlet at Walmart for $15 in the automotive section. Check there as well as Auto Zone. I really want XM radio, but it's way down the list of mods.

My XM

I'm planning on another power socket, but not sure where to put it. Probably off the side of the console.

The XM is the Inno and has it's own rechargeable battery and the GPS is not used often enough so there's not a real pressing need right now.

Cup holder mount from Best Buy. Ran power outlet from the car dock to a hidden acc port under the dash. I wired it straight to the fuse box. Short male to male 3.5mm plug connects the sound out to my aux in down low.
I ran the antenna through the console, under the carpet, out the back and have a low profile antenna mounted on the hatch, between the wing and the seam, dead center behind the FM antenna. It is so low that it pivots with the top and doesn't scrape.
