well since i couldn't find pictures of what i wanted took some today.
i woke up at 4pm to find the brown Santa had dropped off my package. i immediately opened it, grabbed my tools and darted to the car. returned to put pants and a shirt on.
then i set for the pulling the dash apart.
that accomplished i plugged the box into the back of the radio.
it goes in the empty slot, simple so far. so i put the radio back in snugged up the bolts and mounted the two xm boxed under where the pocket is.
i zip tied them together and mounted the down there. took me 15 minutes to get on short zip tie tied. hardest part i swear.
the i started with the antenna. i pulled up on the rear seat it pooped out, i slid it out sat it down on a towel. then the 4 bolts at the bottom of the rear seat, and slid it up, easy work.
look the special brace
next i popped the c-pillars off with a slight up and the front they pooped out, then i put the lil push tabs back into spot for east reinstall., next the lid, after looking in the truck i though ah what the hell climbed back where the seat use to be and gave it a pull upward and with the sound of lil pop rivets popping out, it came out also.
notice the lil felt to keep it quiet.
now to stick the antenna, i didn't want to put in under the sound deadening so i cut a lil notch out and stuck it to the rear plate.
i then ran the wire down the door under the b-pillar, down the other door seam. up under the carpet and to the xm box in the center, plugged it al in and turned to key on. took a bite of my nails, turned the radio on hit the sat button. bam instant signal.
slapped the rear deck on still working.
ran inside activated my radio, with the number, i got off the head unit.
started putting it back together. got it all buttoned up and took it or a spin, no cuts outs
took me 2 hours with a few breaks, talked to the wife , work called had to fill out an incident report over the phone and some head scratching.
took a philips screw driver a long extension, 10, 12, 14 mm sockets, and a pair of plairs help to retrieve the lil clips that are stubborn.
