Cool GS430 XM Radio Install (pics)

I just purchased a 2001 GS430, and I'm new to this forum. My first mod was XM Radio...

It's a relatively new receiver called the XM Commander . It's rather small - just the right size (I thought) to fit in the ashtray. I brought this idea to Car Toys , who performed the installation. I thought it turned out very nice. Here's some pics...
