Tips for Satellite Radio (portable) installation...
Anyone have any tips or info on setting up a Sirius portable radio?
I have the Sirius Sportster4. I also purchased a direct FM transmitter, cause the built in one sucks. Looking for suggestions as well on mounting the antenna, as well as mounts for inside the Jeep (98 JGC Limited). I have been looking at this one http://www.gbxdirect.com/store/uni_mount.php because I would like to mount right next to the radio, and I think this has the clearance needed. This one http://www.pro-fit-intl.com/Adobe/JP-71-96.pdf is more of a direct fit, but I dislike the mounting location as well as the possible interference with the vent.

I just used the included sticky mount and mounted it on the flat piece of plastic next to the radio/by the vents. I then hid the excess 12V wire under the passenger side carpet and then ran the sat antenna cable under the center consoler -> drivers seat -> along drivers side panel -> slit the rear rubber seal to put it through -> finished off by running it up and around the rear hatch -> secured the antenna as instructed by the manual.

I would reccomend the Pro-Fit as well, shouldn't be overpriced unless you got ripped off, should be about $35 retail.

I'd go with the Pro-Fit mount, at least you know it will fit without having to bend it.
If you do decide on the Bracketron, shop around a little. That price seems high. Another option, if you don't mind drilling, is a Ram-Mount. http://www.ram-mount.com |

Mount the antenna on the rollbar, just stuff it under the padding and zip it up.
