Here is a pic of the portable install. The unit is attached to the back with a wedge of dense foam and weatherstrip adhesive. The audio out is tapped into the aux input in the center console. Rather than building a voltage reducer to go from 12v to 5v I just tapped into the cigarette lighter circuit and installed an auxiliary socket and covered it in the center console. Not the greatest install but it hasn't given me any trouble yet and I can close the door over the compartment and never see the unit. I have the antenna sitting on the dash in front of the cover up against the windshield and reception is fine. Sirius for about $20 plus the monthly charge.
