Default Installing Portable Sirrus in 07 S60

Has anyone had a problem installing a Portable Sirrus radio in their car? I am coming down to the last ditch effort to make this work w/o going through Volvo.

Thanks

without asking you details I know what you are refering to. I hate the idea of spending $600 at the dealership but i just can't find anything the fits or looks like it belongs on the dash, good luck

A friend of mine has satellite radio in his car. What part of the install are you having trouble with?
Is the unit powering up?
Do you have an antenna and is it connected?
Is your unit FM modulated or does it have to direct connect to the radio?
Have you activated your subscription?

the problem isn't with sirius ,It is where to put the unit itself, there isn't a clean place to install without it looking out of place.

I have an 06 s60. same layout as the 07. I ran the antenna wire from the top of the rear window althe way down the right side of the rear window into the trunk etc. You can simply with a dull knife lift the rubber strip and slide the wire underneath. I get lots of compliments. I also hate putting anything on my window (already have radar) I use a starmate replay and the window suction cup mount fits almost perfectly into the cup holder. I put the unit with cupholder attached into the cup holder and close the cover of the cupholder up until the unit. It gives it a nice clean look and has more features then the factory installed.
