Install went great. Used the AUX jack and mounted the receiver below the switches using an aluminum bracket I fabricated. Bracket and cradle were installed with velcro to avoid drilling any holes.I used steel wool to give the aluminum bracket a brushed finish to match the receiver and the interior. The velcro has the added benefit of providing shock absorbtion. The sound is great with the AUX level at 4-5 and the line out of the SKYFI at the high end, MUCH better than the cassette adapter in my truck. Sorry, no pics, I'm not sure how to post them.

Where did you mount your AUX port? I'm trying to find the best lcoation for use with my SkiFi. Did you hard-wire the power?

I'd love to see pics. If you have digitals, go to the gallery, find the "my gallery" link there, and you should be able to find the upload area easily.

I'm interested to see the bracket!
