Adhesive/Tape/?? to stick XM to Dash?

ok not the most interesting topic but does anyone have a recommendation for sticking xm tuner to full-leather dash. obviously looking for something that will hold it well but not leave a permanent mark on dash when removed.

more details-- xm commandermt unit, i plan on placing it just to the right of the steering wheel (most inconspicuous spot i could find)

thanks....

I used the vent mounting clips for my unit.

not the advice you are seeking but I do recommend you seriously consider the Nav-TV unit (with the Best of XM package through Sirius there may not be any channel you can't get these days?) I managed to pick one up on 6speed for around $300, self installed - the integration into the PCM is great

I have the Cayenne retrofit kit in my car. You can tune the XM radio directly through the head unit. It looks very factory.

If you really want to go with the aftermarket add on, look for a Panavise kit. This will allow you to add the controller without drilling holes or using any tape.

kevin123 is infamous around these parts
If you use tape I would suggest using Velcro. Get the industrial kind otherwise the regular won't hold up to the heat (the sticky will melt).

It may cause some discoloration after long periods of time (don't know).
