Satelite Radio

[Lew]

This picture is the back of my CDR23 Radio and shows a 10 amp fuse. I am thinking about using a fuse tap on this fuse to get 12 volts that will supply a Stratus 7 Portable Satelite Radio. I hope to do a custom install in the opening once I remove the CD Caddy. I plan on using a blank face plate that will surround the radio. I could tap into the Brown wire which is ground, and the joined RED/BLK wire which is Positive, but a single tap on the 10 amp fuse would be better than two.

Don't know what I was thinking about, that 12 volt tap would not be a switched tap.
However it would have been the shortest run with my cable. Anyone make a 12 volt switched tap?

Here is an interesting way to mount the antenna

When I had my 993 I did successfully tap into the radio plug wires. I believe it was on plug C. Below may help you;

Thanks Achillies for the site on mounting the Antenna, but I have already mounted it. Take a look at the picture where you can see how I planned on installing. I was able to place the small Antenna near the corner of the windshield on the drivers side, and route the wiring under the trim and tuck it under the rubber door seal. It worked out great routing the wire under the lower part of the dash and over to the opening where the CD caddy is located. Since I don't use the CD Caddie I decided to remove it. I might add I am holding the Antenna in place with a quarter size piece of velcro. I plan on cutting a piece of plexi glass I have that will face off the Caddy opening. The Radio will be attached to the Plexi Glass with screws that came with the Radio. Should work out great.....
