Since The Great Ice Cream Run last year, I’ve been listening to Sirius Satellite Radio in GPMINI, using a receiver hard-wired in to the Alpine head unit, giving clear sound and artist/etc displays.
In GBMINI#6, I installed a factory AUX input cable and I’ve been using the “portable” Sirius receiver that I bought last year for my SiriusXM comparison; I had the little receiver stuck in a cup holder, which allows me to hear it but makes reading the display and pressing buttons a little tricky!
Over the last week or so, I’ve been updating the sound in GBMINI#6 – the factory iPod interface came out (which is un-necessarily challenging due to the way it is installed), and I have a Dension Gateway 300 installed from MikeyTheMINI (more on that, later!) … side note: It’s a bit easier to work on the stereo in a Convertible, dropping the top gives you lots more visibility 🙂
So I decided to tidily install the Sirius receiver; I tried a few places and finally settled on putting it under the toggle switch panel … with the help of my work colleague Christian, a piece of copper was bent to provide a nice bracket to fit the receiver to the bottom of the switch panel, and I’m really quite happy with the results!

Is “Tidily” a word? 😉 Looks nice Ian, removable? Still on Holland time. 😦
Good music selection, Ian. I’m very fond of Men At Work!
Now that XM and Sirius are one (will they refer to themselves as Pulsar or Quasar?), will the choice of one over the other be as important?

I’ve not seen much merger news, but I don’t expect them to merge their music mix at least in the near term … from my comparison last year, Sirius has the better programming.
Ian, looks great as if it belongs there. Nice job. Any plans to upgrade the speakers?
No … with the H/K upgraded system, it’s not smart to change speakers unless you also replace the H/K amp!
