Default Satellite Radio placement?

hey everyone, ive recently removed my Delphi Roady2 from my integra and am gonna put it in my xB.
Im all out of ideas for placement of my radio. The vents are to weird to use the vent clip, the windshield is too far away to put it there, and ive got my headunit in the storage pocket so it cant go on the door there.
Now that ive narrowed down where I DONT want it, let me also add that I dont wanna just mount it to the dash in front of me as it is a show vehicle.
For those using Sat radios, where have you mounted them?

It won't help you much, but I put mine in the oven. Good luck.

I used a gooseneck attached to the front left passenger seat bolt.



The wires ran down the gooseneck, I used a PIE adapter to wire it into the head unit's 6 disc changer port, and hard wired the power into the back of the cig lighter.

For the few days while I was waiting for the dealer to install the XM tuner package, I just put my Audiovox Xpress on the dash, in the left corner, sitting on a dark gray wash cloth. In some ways, I wish I still had that setup. Even with wireless FM modulation it sounded great, and the 5-line display sure beat the heck out of the 1-line display of the integrated unit.

I pulled the ashtray and its runners and mounted the roady there - you give up height on the left cupholder, but its a clean install compared to the huge generic brackets out there. I'll try to post a pic tomorrow
