OK
Here are some pictures. Both antennas on the glare shield, take notice of the wire loom for the 496, the loose wire is the XM antenna because I sometimes move the unit from this plane to the other plane and that's the only item I do not have duplicate. I have power wired in direct so that the avionics master controls the 496, the antenna is in the loom along with the audio that is tied into the intercom system. When I move the 496 to the Twinco I just unplug power, antenna and audio and it stays all tied in together and the XM antenna comes with me. I then just use the Cig plug unit in the Twinco for power, antenna is already in the Twinco because it has a 196 an normal. So I can just use the same antenna and mount already in the Twinco for the normal 196. Just plug in the XM and set it up on the glare shield and ready to go. No audio in the Twinco yet.

Sorry for the delay on the pictures, I was on a cruise ship in the Caribbean chasing hurricanes.
