SIRIUS mounting and power hard wiring

Are there step-by-step instructions anywhere for hard wiring the power to a sirius receiver? I have never done anything like this before, and am completely new to it.

I was able to plug the receiver into the factory antenna, but cannot find clear instructions on how to hard wire the power.

Also, What is the best way to mount the receiver in the little cubby underneath the radio/AC console? This is for the 2009 model, FYI.

Any help is appreciated.

I can't help with the wiring as I use the 12V plug in the console.

This is where I mounted the receiver bracket. I removed the suction cup from the bent arm and attached the arm to the door under the switch bank.

The cradle pivots forward to allow the receiver to slip in. I use it infrequently, so it may not be an elegant long term solution.
