iPod / XM / Changer Solution in my 986

[MrBoxster]

I am in the process of trying to figure out where I am going to put my XM reciever. I have the same one you have and their really is no place for it. I was thinking about removing the stupid 4 disk holder that takes up precious space and mounting the unit directly to the dash. The only problem is that it is dangerously close to my shifter. Then, I thought about putting it on top of the dash on the right side, but there is so little room in this car.

I agree, I hate wires everywhere. I am just going to have to suck it up and get it professionally installed. I enjoy doing it myself, but it has to look good on a Porsche.

I ran the antenna wire myself, but do not want to try to hard wire it in the dash. So I am stuck using the cord for now. I did however put velcro up ontop of the worthless "CD Shelf Center Console".

It does not stay up sometimes, so I am going to try and reinforce the Velcro....it may look a little rigged but I dont care about the CD holder.

This how I mounted my XM reciever. I used velcro and a strong adhesive to hold it up. It looks good, I am not going to hard-wire it because if there was a electrical problem, my warrenty would be voided.

Looks great ! I can't believe you did that with just velcro...

Doesn't it interfere with shifting ?

( Oops, I just saw in your sig that you have a tip )
