I just wanted to show everyone that not only does the black and chrome casing on this Sirius Xact radio match the interior of the car perfectly, it also fits perfectly into the cigarette ash tray.
Procedure:
1) Removed the ash tray
2) Remove the two screws that hold the ash tray mechanism in place and remove the assembly
3) Drill a small hole through the top of the assembly so you can fit the antenna plug through.
4) I cut the cigarette lighter plug off and hard wired it straight to the cigarette lighter (BE SURE YOU get your positive and negatives right or you may blow out your Sirius radio)
5) Fit the adapter plug through the same hole as the antenna wire then replace the assembly, then the put the ash tray back in (on top of the wires you just fed through the hole. It is a little tight but the ash tray will lock in place.)
6) Now plug in the power and antenna to the radio and snap it in as pictured below...

Good Work! thanks for the blue print. I can probably do it myself now.
