Got it installed at the local circuit city for $70. Works great and no permanent holes in the vehicle.

 

opnions wanted pls

 

you couldn't wait for my pics? ...like your location..do not like your antannaes mounting---front dash is much better

 

Yeah i'm impatient like that. let me see your pics. i wanted it on the dash but the guy at circuit city said it wouldn't work.

 

How can you drive with the starmate there? I have a standard so that would really be impossible, but can you put your arm there?

Yeah I see what you mean. It's probably not a good place for someone driving a stick but since it's not it works out for me.

 

i agree with that not being a good location for the antenna

put it in the rear window deck

i allready had one of my antenna's snap off when i opened the trunk

 

Looks good to me!

I have the Starmate in my Tacoma with the antenna laying ontop of my dash pad, passenger side. Reception comes in 'okay'. I loose the signal every once in a while.

 

Here is the thing...what kind of adapter is it and did they solder it to an accessory current or direct current...plus keep us updated on its progress

 

I'm assuming it was sodered to an accessory delay because it stays on when i turn of the vehicle and turns off when i open the door. So far so good. I just wish the Starmate had a **** or a button that would just let you go from station to station.

 

that is awesome...i wonder if the circuit city here in TX has it...but do you have info on what kind of adapter it is?

 

The starmate I bought came with a car kit. So they used the adapter that was included.

 

I have the car kit too all it is, is a mount, cigarette lighter plug and antenna....but I was talking about the AUX adapter

 

I have mine snaked inbetween the rear view window and its mounted the the rear roof the car.

 

I put the antenna out buy the radio antenna, ran the wiring in through the crack of the door up the passenger side and into the glove box where the starmate is mounted. The only drawback is that I have to open the glove box to change channels, haha. Good thing there is a remote.
