Sirius Satellite radio

Where in Edmonton is there a good place to look at mounting options for my Sirius radio. I had it in the vent, but it drove me nuts cuz it was not solid enough. So then I put it just below the overhead read out but then the suction cup decided to stop working so I am looking for a new option. It is a 2002 2500 auto 4x4.

I used a suction cup thingamajigger from the Fishing Hole - RAM mount IIRC. Very rarely did it ever come off the windshield in the company truck even on the roughest mountain oilfield roads.

However, off the same single suction cup, I had added a flat bar to mount my cell phone booster cradle, sirius radio, and GPS cradle. All this was all rigged to go off the same and was actually quite heavy carrying everything it was designed to.

If you cannot find anything you like, I'm currently not using it and may be able to find it in the garage if given a hour or two to look for it.

I get everything I need for my Sirius needs from these guys...

I have been using them for years, their service is awesome and they have a specific mount for your truck. It fits the auto trucks not the manual trucks but I modified one to fit my truck and it's awesome. No more suction cups or stuff like that, it's solidly mounted to the dash.
I'll get a pic tomorrow when I get home from work and post it for you to give you an idea of what it looks like.

Is there anywhere in Edmonton I can get those parts? That looks like what I would want but I hate only ordering $30 worth of parts. The other option I was looking at is www.proclipusa.com.

This, I don't doubt. However, I just looked at a mount for my '07 - you have to sit in the passenger seat in order to reach it. There has to be a phone mount or something that brings things closer to the driver.
