Review on πŸ“» Ultimate Vent Mount Solution for Sirius Satellite Radios: A/C Sporster, Starmate, Stratus! by Robert Rasmussen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent price. Better price and availability than Sirius itself; Sirius wanted me to buy a brand new radio.

It worked right away and ensured I could transport my Onyx from one machine to another. If you haven't read the Sirius documentation, these radios can get warm on their own due to the internal electronics. The black plastic housing of the radio absorbs the heat of the sun, which means that the layout of the instrument panel is not optimal. THE PERFECT ALL IS THAT THIS MOUNT PLACES YOUR SIRIUS XM RADIO DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE AIR CONDITIONING VENT. I anchored my radio high as it allowed cool air to flow towards the unit but also past it towards me and the high position allowed me to see it without taking my eyes too far off the road. As for winter running, if hot air can blow out of your vent, I would shut off the airflow from that vent and let the other vents warm up the machine. This radio you have does not require any additional heat beyond what it generates itself. The only downside is "please note" that when it was unboxed it was in a clear plastic bag with no papers or instructions, but if it travels with other items in the box, as it did in my case, it could with only extra mix up packaging material and skipped and it almost happened to me.
