cool.....
I posted a message on the Sirius Backstage board, got a reply back that says
"If you're close to the repeater, you won't see a satellite signal...
The repeater signal can be nearly a billion times stronger than the satellite signals.. The strong repeater signal causes the receiver to cut down its sensitivity in order to prevent it being overloaded. As a result the much weaker satellite signals get lost...
Imagine being in front of the stage at a heavy metal rock concert and then trying to hear somone whispering ten feet away from you"
I guess that makes sense, so I will leave the antenna where it is since I already ran and hid the wires.
As for the power I found a few posts that say cutting the cig power cord and fusing that into the box is the best bet, so I will porbably do that and use the add a fuse tap, just have to find a good place to ground it out. I would assume the best fuse to use is the Cig lighter fuse? since that is Acc.
Next step is modifying the bracket that comes with the Car kit so that I can mount it to the front of the ashtray and then run the wires into the dash so that they are hidden.
FM modulator is ok, but I have a OEM pioneer with an aux input, getting the cable tommorow, so I am going to use that to get true dig sound and do away with the modulator.
As far as the remote goes, yeah it does stink, its hard to find the buttons in the dark. What I was thinking about though was getting a learning remote, and having it learn the buttons from both my Head Unit remote and the Sirius remote, this was I can do away with both remotes and have one. They are a little big and might look goofy but should get the job done easily.
Thanks for your input fellas.
