Subject:SIRIUS install in Vanagon Westy
From:Frank Condelli
Date:Tue, 25 Nov 2003 12:44:44 EST

Got my Sirius, from the offer mentioned here some time ago and
installed it Saturday.  Pretty cool and I love it already.  Couple of questions that
some of you may know the answer to.
    Antenna, I installed it under the luggage rack.  Is the signal going to
be blocked when the luggage rack is loaded with stuff ?
    AND, has anyone hard wired the 12v plug instead of letting it dangle from
the cig lighter ?  Is this a problem for the battery ?  The instructions
booklet says it should be unplugged to prevent battery drainage.  If so, then I
presume it could be hard wired to operate only when the key is on or engine
running.  What have others done about this ?

Cheers
