Ok, I have everything ready to go, but i ran into a small problem. There is a "Yellow" wire from the xm processor that is to be connected "to terminal always supplied with power regardless of ignition switch position." How and what do I connect it to. I saw another yellow wire that said "memory-batt", but i was wondering if/how i connect it to that. Also, what would be a good place to ground the unit? A little walkthrough would be helpful. Thanks

Did you get one of the stand-alone models? You can always tap into your power leads for your head unit since it takes the same 3 connections. Not to sure about XM, my Sirius reviever only has 2 leads, constant 12V and ground, but mine does go with my head unti so it saves all the presets that way so no need for a memory lead on it.

you probably have it all hooked up by now, but yes, the yellow wire goes to a constant source of 12+ (battery), and yes it is safe to hook up to the same wire the radio is hooked up to. As far as the ground goes, the shorter the better. A factory bolt is always best, just scrape some paint away where the wire/ring terminal will be touching. If there aren't any bolts, just scrape some paint away, and use some small screws to hold it in. MAKE SURE you check for any wires/hoses/lines or anything that can be damaged where you are drilling!

I'm still working on the pics of the antenna... I just dont have time any more!

I have it installed and working. I love it! I kinda have a ghetto rig on the antenna for now until i mount it somewhere, but for now, it is 'sitting' on the hatch cover. But hey, it works. Some pics would really help me see what i need to build/make. Thanks for all your help guys. BTW, i just hooked it into the headunit/const power wire (yellow) and grounded to a bold in the back. Pics pics pics, hehe
