XM Roady2 install

Wife got me an early Xmas present. Have a 04 SCAB XLT, no center consol. Anybody have any tips on install? It has a cig plug for power, cassette adaptor,and a magnetic antenna. Seems like a lot of loose wires, not a clean look like I was hoping. Maybe a pro install Job?

The Roady 2 is junk. The SkyFi 2 and other XM radios are built better and last longer. For a temporary install, just plug the power cord in the rear outlet. Set the antenna on dash. Flip down the center seat and put the Roady in your cupholder.

You could also get one of these mounts: http://www.pro-fit-intl.com/VSM/

Installation instructions are here:

If you pry open the radio trim panel, you can hide the antenna wire in there.
