WHO'S THE MAN?!?!

...KIM'S THE MAN!!!

I just installed AND activated Sirius radio in our house. If anyone knows how I am with electronics and wires you know that it is no easy feat! I understand electronics, but when you add in A TON of wiring...I get very confused. Add in the fact that the Sirius website was having technical difficulties with activating online and you have a big mess! Oh yes, the rep that I spoke with also had a THICK hispanic accent. LOTS OF FUN!!! "Escuse me, can you repeat that?" Again and again and again...

Oh, and temporary antenna has a somewhat choppy signal. boo!

HOORAY FOR MARGARITAVILLE!!!! AND NEW COUNTRY!!! AND COFFEE HOUSE!!!



Yes, the plastic is still on. I'm a little OCD. Give me a brake - it's BRAND NEW!!!


The 'organized mess' of wires.


The temporary antenna hangin' out in the window.


A very proud installer/activator.


It's not as easy as it seems. There are a ton of codes and passwords along with it and fiddling with the stupid antenna to aquire a signal...


BUT, I DID IT! ALL. BY. MYSELF. :)

We decided to make this our anniversay gift. A very expensive, but very worth it gift!!!


Now, it's Jon's turn to do the car installations!!! Stay tuned...

I am soooo proud of you Chick!!! Well done :) Big hugs!

We had XM installed in our car already when we bought it, but I did all the activation stuff, and you're right - it can be crazy. hehe.

I love it that one of your longest post in months is about installing a Sirius! :) But I'm very proud of you. I wouldn't have believed it possible. Looks like a wonderful mess of wires. And New Country is awesome...have it playing right now!
