Default Installed a sirius sportster replay in a '98 beetle

Here is an install of a Sirius Sportster Replay in a '98 VW Beetle.

I mounted the antenna on the dash underneath the center dash cover. I read somewhere that the satellite signal passes through glass and plastic, and sure enough it does, I get a good signal, and I have not had any drop outs yet.


I used a metra cigarette light adapter for power so that everything would be hidden behind the dash and the replay would go on and off with the key.


I used a pro-fit mount and ran all the wires through a small hole I drilled.


Here is the finished job.
