Does anyone know if it will be possible to mount a Satellite Radio receiver in the 2005 without replacing the Shaker 500 tuner?

It is supposed to be set up to add on an external satellite unit. On one of the Mustang sites (Brad's ??) a photo was posted showing the setup. The satellite unit sat in a cradle and was removeable so you could bring it with you.

But, I'm waiting for Ford to offer a completely built in Sirius unit with, AM / FM / CD changer.

Ford gets serious about Sirius; satellite radio to be a factory-installed option

Why would you want to keep the stock deck? I might keep the 10 inch sub if its any good but I doubt it will be better than the two MTX 12 inchers I got. The first thing to go will be that deck. Got a brand new Alpine with the 7 inch touch screen all ready to go

Doesnt look like I'll have much of an option but to ditch the deck. I am an XM fan anyway as I have it in 2 other vehicles and I like it very much.
