My $2.50 DIY Sirius Dock

Until I get the $130 to buy the HK Enabler and install my indash screen i took out of my e46 M3, I decided i couldnt take fm modulators. I needed my Sirius in my car. Got the aux cable and installed that in 10 min. I dont like mounting things on the windshield or air vents because its just not my style. i was thinking of buying a cupholder mount on ebay, but figured it was still a little too bulky for my tastes. so this is what i did, and i have to say, i like it.

















3M Black Electrical Tape.

Havent seen anyone else do this, so thought id share. Its pretty dark back there also, so you dont really notice the tape. the flash really brings out the detail (pretty good for my blackberry 8900).

thanks for looking!

Good job....That's even cheaper than my re-purposed window suction mount.
