XM Commander Install 04+ F150

I know this has been done here a ton of times but I thought I'd put my thread up to show where I ran the wires. I didn't include pics of the console removal as it has been covered here a lot.

I wired it to the head unit so that it powers on and off the same as the stock radio. Thanks to Bill for his advice.

Could you pass along that advice about getting switched power from the head unit? I'll give that antenna mounting a try and see how it goes. Thanks a bunch for the pictures!
