[QUOTE="Gerald Pierce, post: 753258, member: 54639"] Ryan, keep in mind, you are still going to need the XM adapter to convert the 12vdc from the truck to 5vdc. I mounted mine in the center console, right under the ac controls. I am currently leaving the adapter plugged in to the accessory jack on the side of the console, but intend to buy a 12 volt lighter plug to wire in underneath the center console (back side of the accessory plug) so that the adapter is not sticking out. This is not switched power though, I don't sweat the little bit of drain that will happen if I forget to shut the XM off. If you locate a switched 12vdc, wire in a plug (available at most auto parts places, radio shack, etc) to plug in the XM adapter let me know. gp edit added "let me know" [/QUOTE]
