Installing Satellite radio
#16
I just received my satellite radio kit from Grubbs. My module has places for two plugs, but my car only has one wiring harness. Nonetheless, the radio seems to recognize the satellite module. Is there supposed to be more than one plug?
Also, any tips on mounting the module? The kit came with lots of sticky tape and wire ties, etc.

Anyway you can just glue it to the trunk floor, just make sure your antenna wire dosnt scrape anywhere,
Enjoy

Very easy install - I placed the small antenna on the rear shelf where the baby tether hook is. You remove the bolt and the casing to make room - looks clean.
I have one for sale (sold the car). I can do $160+ shipping. It includes everything you need.

I got everything working and noticed that the module gets VERY HOT. Is this normal and if so, does it need to be placed in a well ventilated area? I don't really see any other place it can go other than just shoved up under the rear deck. But, I'm worried it will melt something or worse. Any help?!?!?

Look at the PDF for the sedan installation and it shows where the harness is located, which is on the right side of the back of the rear seat near the floor.

It's in the trunk, up against the firewall (inner most side of trunk), but you have to remove all the carpet panels, including the one under the rear deck in the trunk to fully expose all of the cables and mounting locations for a sat install. I went thruogh this when i installed the OEM iPod adapter.

Hiding Satellite Sirius / XM Antenna
So I found out the the Satellite antennas don't need a clear shot of the sky and that they can transmit through plastic and glass. Now with that said I have an 05 g35 coupe 6MT with a dealer installed spoiler, I also still have the third brake light on the packing shelf that is disconnected. I simply pulled the light cover, fished the antenna wire up under it and and re secured the light cover, works like a charm and I even have limo tint on the back windows.
Just a tip, Enjoy!

I just bought a 2006 G35 ... looks like the past owner had satellite radio on the car before because I see an XM radio antenna in the front of the car on the roof.
Considering the antenna is all the way in the front, you think the past owner used an external XM radio reciever or could of he ran the wires all the way from the trunk to the front?
What is a way I can verify this?
Obviously, I don't have satellite radio working because each time I press RADIO, it gives me FM1, FM2, and AM

Just FYI for everyone , here is a detailed list of all of the factory Sat plug locations for every model of infiniti. It's from the USA spec Bluetooth adapter website.
