Getting ready for my Xm install.

I just ordered the commander for my 05 f150 fx4 and since i got such a good deal on it ($49.00 and yes thats a new one direct from XM) i went ahead and spent the extra money for the PIE FRD04-AUX. I made my decision on the commander because of the mounting option in the ashtray, Many thanks to Fanman2 for that great idea. Basically I've been reading around and have gathered alot of install info in here and was wondering if anyone had any other new ideas, suggestions, or help on installing the aux adapter and commander.

thanks in advance,
kevin

Did you ever get any information on how to install this? If so, can you point me in the right direction? Thanks.

My PIE FRD04-AUX is on its way to my house right now. I guess a better question is whether or not there is a place to secure the PIE FRD04-AUX after I have connected everything properly? I don't want it just sliding around behind my dash. Also, is it easy to make the +12V and GND connections? Do I need to crimp anything to the wires, or are there screw terminals? Any help is welcome. Thanks.
