Post subject: Where to mount Sirius Stratus radio in 97 Mazda B4000 (Ranger)
Archived from groups: alt>trucks>ford (more info?)

I recently installed two Sirius Stratus recievers, one in my 2004
Explorer and one in my 97 Mazda B4000. Installation was not difficult
at all. I'm especially proud of the installation in the Explorer --
not a wire showing anywhere -- mounted the Sirius on the bottom apron
of the console below the A/C controls and it looks almost built-in.

The B4000 is another story. Right now, the Sirius receiver is mounted
on a vent mount on the a/c vent on the far left end of the dash where
it's accessible only by the driver. I've been looking for another
place to mount it so it's more centrally-located.

97 B4000, 5-speed, 4WD.

In the bottom center of the dash -- in front of the gearshift stick --
are two drop-down openings, one is the ashtray, the other is the
cigarette lighter. I don't smoke so I use the ashtray to stash extra
fuses and other small stuff. I'm thinking about using the adhesive
mount that came with the Sirius and sticking it on a flat part of the
lower dash just above the cigarette lighter. The receiver looks like
it would be accessible by driver or passenger, would not interfere
with the stick, and would not hit the driver's right knee.

I'l be interested to hear if anyone else has mounted a Sirius receiver
in a Mazda B-series or Ranger and where you put it.

Thanks.
