Wiring problems with sirius satalite radio....?

Question

so i started installing my my sirius sportster 5 today and the antenea went great, i managed to conceal all of the wire except for about 7inches comming from the unit. But then the power cord and the aux cord are way too long and all it suggests is to zip tie them?! it looks like c**p. I know about the professional installation kit for about $30 but is it concievable to install that myself? or do i just need to break down and pay the pros to do it?

Answer 1

It's hard to give advice without knowing what type of vehicle you have, however, I'll give it a shot. There's generally going to be a lot of space underneath the driver's side knee panel. You can more than likely conceal most of the wire all the way down to the knee panel, and then zip tie the extra wire to some piece of metal below the knee panel. If the knee panel isn't an option you can try behind the glove box. The final option is possibly behind the dash, or the radio.
