Care for a SIRIUS thread?

Hi Guys, I'm fairly new posting here but have been lurking for a while.

I just bought the sirius radio kit from morristown MINI and was wondering if yall would be interested in seeing the kit's contents? If you could let me know on this thread and also how to post images inline with the text, instead of as attachments, that would be great. Just if you guys wanted to know where that $507 is going!

This would be the contents of the FACTORY kit. It's acutally quite amazing how much stuff was in that box!

This thread is worthless without pics, but it had a huge box, a bracket, some screws, some neat adapter plugs, a template, and a little tuner box.

I'm going to test post some pics on here tonight to see about inlining. I have the car at the mini dealer and they installed it yesterday. they said it took 'forever' to program the car to see it.

interesting to note, it looks like the little tuner only has 2 connections. a fiber optic looking thing, and an antenna connector. I wonder how it gets power...

Here's the hardware box, which is installed in the space under the floor of the passenger seat.

I believe the power is integrated into the wiring harness with the fiber connection.
