You can do it yourself. Future Shop does the same thing, only it looks a little prettier. I did mine myself and hid all of the wiring without too much trouble.

i wired mine to the map light dash on my roof, stuffed the antenna wires up in that space as well and left just enough so the antenna itself can sit on my dash. works great, comes on automatically when i turn my car on and i don't have the ugly wires running to my DC outlet. looks better than any other "professional" job i've seen done by Futureshop or the like

Does this require alot of knowledge or tools. I want it to look good but do not want to spend alot. I would prefer to hide all the wires it possible?

just soldering really, and unlike a circuit board like trying to mod an Xbox or something it's hard to screw something like that up. the only tricky part is finding the right connection to wire the radio into (one that's live only when the car is turned on), so a voltmeter is also needed

So I got this bad boy fired up pretty easy to do yourself.

Anyways what are some good stations? what does everyone listen to? I went with Sirius.

I like the 80's channel and some channel that I think is called "Super shuffle". Not sure why but I like the Nascar channel but I cannot get the NHL sports ticker to work? I can get the Nascar and NBA but not the NHL.
