Default I love it so much that I spent eight hours wiring my office last night so I could install xm there

as well. Building is 100 years old and running wiring is very difficult. Lots of unexpected cement and brick wall hidden behind drywall. thought the project would take a couple of hours last night. Started at 6:00 finished around 2:00am, what a pain but worth it.

Default Here's an easier way to bring XM indoors.

If you have a SkyFi XM unit, there is a "boom box" attachment with built in antenna, and two fairly large speakers. Just pop the SkyFi head unit in, and you are ready to go. That is what I put in my office and I've been pleased with the result.

Default We don't have the SkyFi - doesn't integrate well with the D2 dash

Look in doc's pictureposter for a clean install.

Default I have the SKI-FI but I wanted it attached to my whole office system.

Problem is that my reciever is 100 feet from any south facing wall. Which means running a cable from the skifi unit to the south facing wall so that you can get reception. My practice is located in a very rural area so I need to rely on satalite reception instead of terestrial.

Default Re: S4 vs. A8L. Wouldn't that be "Downsizing" ?? (in a nice way)

But considering that I'm trading in the '01 allroad for it (AoA bought me out of my lease) so I don't really consider this "downsizing", just adding a little for fun factor!
