Question XM Satellite/Radio Help

I just sold my Ranger and bought an '07 F-150, i had a Alpine head unit in my Ranger , with XM, and i don't want to put that Alpine in the F-150, too small for such a big space. I want to keep satellite radio but my factory radio isn't satellite radio ready. Any suggetions ?????? Thanks !

You can get an installation insert that will mount a single din unit into a double din space. Your head unit on top and storage space under.

Not expensive at all...get on eBay and find one that is a external mount that has the FM modulator. I bought one brand new for $50. Works great.

westtnfx4, i'm not sure i know what you mean, can you give me a link to one ? Thanks

thebestneverrest06, i know what you mean, but i like the looks better of a double din radio, i'm not crazy about a single, just doesn't look right. Thanks anyhow !!
