I am planning on installing a XM express ez tuner Monday, and am curious where those of you that have mounted tuners have located them at. (pics please) I really wanted to go with the Alpine direct connect setup from Audiovox, but was unable to get the drivers to download on 2 different operating systems. So now I have to run a tuner into my aux port of my Alpine.

 

You can't just buy the Alpine tuner?

I know Audiovox has manufactured the new XM Direct mini-tuner, but I won't buy an Audiovox product.

My XM Roady is mounted with a cup holder mount from Arkon.

Pic tomorrow. As soon as I replace the head unit, (probably with a Pioneer) it's toast, though.

Nevermind -- I just read the reviews at Crutchfield.
Well, at least go for the XpressRC

 

I tried the direct2 kit and had no luck with programming it. POS. The express EZ is not too bad for the price. I ended up mounting it by the aux input and ran it directly into the Alpine. Mounted the antenna on my dash and is working fine.

 

mounted behind the glovebox. Ra the antenna next to the factory one.

 

I have a Sirius Sportster and I mounted it in the space near the cup holders and the aux port. I bought a kit to hard wire it so I don't need to use the cig adapter. I ran the antenna wire under the carpet on the driver side up the molding in the door, I use a dash trim removal tool to sort of open up a crease between the dash and the side near the small window and dropped the antenna wire in there. The antenna is sitting right up against the front windshield under my inspection sticker. I haven't notice any difference in reception versus my Scion Xb that has the antenna mounted on the roof.

 

I got the Bracketron cup holder UV bracket.

It works fairly well in the right-side cupholder with my XM Delphi
