(The picture to the right is not actually my car, but looks almost exactly like it. I placed my unit in the same area this photo suggests.)

Installation took five steps:

1. Decide where to put the unit
2. Attach the cradle from the adapter kit to that area
3. Plug in the wires:

The last step was the antenna. The instructions suggest placing the small antenna on a metal surface at least 12"x12" and at least 6" from a window. I chose to place it on the roof of my car and simply ran the wire, laterally, to the passenger door and then under the rubber moulding all the way to the unit.

When all this was done, I called SIRIUS' toll-free number and within moments, the operator sent a signal via satellite that activated my system.

Now, it's time to play. I'll let you know more about the SIRIUS experience in a follow-up article. All I need now is a reason to take a roadtrip!
