Gonna buy one that plugs into the Aux jack. I liked the look of the Kenwood one on www.sirius.com. Anyone have any recommendations?

TIA

i have the kenwwod H2A and will be selling it on ebay in the next week... I prefer the PNP2... I will also be selling my xm skyfi... after two years (of having both sirius and xm) i am giving up on xm due to, IMHO, poorer quality playlists... plus with the current promo you can't beat sirius with a stick..

I've got the Audiovox PNP for Siris and love it. I bought a 1 ft 1/8 to 1/8 to plug from the unit to the aux in. The system fits perfectly into one of the cargo cubbies. I used the one with the plugs in it. With the aux plug and power plug tucked behind the unit nothing shifts, and the wires aren't exposed.

The antena cable still runs across the cubies and up the door trim. I haven't had time to try to hid it yet. let me know if you want pictures.

Can you post some pics, especially of the antenna cable routing?

Sure. I'll get them tonight and post them tomorrow. I need to do the grill too, so I'll do them at the same time.

Really, the system is in the left most cubbie hole. They provide ALOT of wire for the antenna, so I have it twist tied, then run across the rest of the cubbie hole and up the window trim of the passenger side. The it's mounted to the passenger side roof. Acutally it's a magnet, so it's not "mounted." I'm sure I could run it behind the dase, and probably will at some point. But it doesn't bother me, so it's not high on the list...


Oh yeah, and the Audiovox has a remote (the other might too) which I keep in the cubbie hole on the left side of the steering column. That way I don't have to lean over to change the station.

Others may have better quality photos/different ways of accomplishing their end product
