I just purchased a satellite radio system from Best Buy and the mount they gave me was one that fits into the side of the dash all the way to the right. I told them that this is too far for my wife's short hands and that I need something closer. The only other suggestion they gave was a vent mount system but that the heat or cold coming from the vent isn't very good for the receiver. I still think this is the way to go, has anyone istalled a satellite system or i-pod on the vents?

Thanks

Thanks NorCalJay,

I saw your post and that's exactly where I want it, however the installers at Best Buy tell me that the heat and cold from the vent could damage the receiver. Have you have any problems with that?

Yeah, I gave my wife that option too but she didn't like the idea. I think I'm just going to postpone my installation and buy the "bug" which mounts on the dash. What concerns me about that is if the installers were worried about the temperature coming from the vent I'm sure they will have problems with the temperature the dash can get up to in the middle of summer.
