VAIS SLS Location

Does anyone have any feedback on installing VAIS SLS (Sirius w/16 characters) on a 2006 Prius with navigation? Where does the Sirius reciever and SLS unit get mounted? The SLS audio harness is about 3.5', and it can't be extended due to quality reasons!

I'll apologize in advance for my input not being fully on target. I have the SLI which has two inputs which I use for my XM 2 GO and my IRiver. That's two sets of audio feeds. The box is mounted in the pull-open drawer in the front of the center console. The leads were long enough to run to the back of the head unit. From there you can run lines anywhere. I used velcro to attach the unit to the drawer and can pull it out easily if I need to make a software change. Only thing you might not like is drilling the hole in the back of the drawer. My XM sits in the front cup holder and I have a standard minijack line in the center console I can pull out to plug the MP3 in.

Warm regards.....
