Another XM Radio Question
Ok before the 
I DID use the search but found nothing too specific.
Has anyone had the factory sirius xm radio installed (after purchase)? If so, is this something easy to do yourself or does the antenna mount require some what of a professional installation?

It's not a great pic since I was trying to show the curve but you can see my ant just below the RX8club sticker in this photo https://www.rx8club.com/album.php?al...pictureid=5191
I'll try to get a better pic tomorrow and how they wired it though the trunk. If it's not raining (again) you should be able to see how it's run through at least that much.

Mine was a factory install but it doesn't look like it would be a hard install. They run the wire under the trunk lid to the driver side break light area. I imagine they use the same wire path as the lights back up to the firewall then up into the dash. If you can track the taillight wiring you should be able to add the ant wire fairly easily. I didn't pull out the trunk cover to show it because it was raining but after you take a look I'm sure you'll see what I mean.
Anyway, set up a 5 pic album to show how they did it in mine. Hope it helps.
