Its actually easier than you might think. Just grab on to the trim that surrounds the gear shifter and from the side that faces the rear of the car, pull straight up. The trim will pop right off. Once you have that loose reach your fingers up behind the panel where the "airbag off" lamp is and push it out into the cabin. You will then have lots of room to fish out the wire that powers the cigarette lighter. I used a clamp on "vampire tap" to connect my wiring to it. There are also a couple of nice bolts in there where you can pick up a good ground connection as well.

Hope this helps.

 

I have sirius in my crossfire and it looks great. I have the JVC KD-LHX550 CD Player. It is sirius ready and matches the silver of the console. The backlight can also be changed to match the green of the speedometer. I then bought the JVC sirius box and put it behind the passenger seat. All the wires run through the console. I have the convertible so I put the antenna between the driver seat and passenger seat between the roll bars. I am very happy with it. It isn't the easiest to change channels with but the look is most important to me.

 

with the lhx550 there is room within the dash behind the stereo for both the sirius adapter and ipod adapter (both are the same size).

 

I didn't want to change my head unit and i didn't want to add anything to the dash or window with a suction cup, so this is what i came up with.
Its mounted on my visor and hard wired.


Here is my remote held on with these rubber things that act like a magnet and peel right off (picked up at Target). It sits in the between the cup holder and the mirror control.

 

The LHX 550 does not support Ipod. It has rca inputs which can be hooked up to an Ipod. But it does not support Ipod controls through the headset. I don't believe there was room for the sirius box behind the head unit, but I didn't try to put it there.

 

I put my Sirius radio in the glove box of my roadster. The only evidence in the car of an added system is the Sirius antenna on the far right corner of the dash. But I do have to open the glove box to change the station.

Here is the FM Modulator I installed in the car. It connects directly in the car antenna (so we also need the converter kit). It worked out great; the device filters out the unwanted signal coming thru the car antenna. It all fit behind the dash under the stereo.

…It also works with my MP3 player.
