Thanks for the info . I went ahead and ordered an XM kit - so that should leave around 3 left (when I phoned them up, they still had 4). At least with the OEM kit I can install it myself and not have to pay for an install setup like I would with the auxillary input device. Now I just need to decide whether to sell my MyFi or have 2 XM subscriptions....

My antenna is on the rear decklid, inside my car. I haven't mounted it permanently (it's just sitting behind the passenger side head rest, on the carpet material) as I was concerned about reception. I am planning to mount it there as it's been working fine. On my commute, I have one area that causes a drop out of about 2 seconds, but other than that, it's not an issue for me.
One other thing I should mention is that I don't have tint. I'm not sure if that would make a difference or not, but I would test mount until certain, especially if it's a metallic based tint.

If you have metallic tint on your rear window it can be a problem other than it’s the best install IMO.

Thanks for the input, guys. I definately want to try the rear shelf install first and try and avoid the appearance of the antenna outside the car. I do have tint but I don't think it is metallic, so hopefully this won't be a problem. I'll also try mounting the antenna to a piect of sheet metal. Did you just buy some at the hardware store, shape it to the antenna base then glue them together?

Yeah, it's cool for the most part. I get some areas down here where the thick palm trees will block the signal for a minute or two. I thought it might be the install location, but was riding in a friend's Magnum and he hit head spots pretty much the same places I did. I also have tint (20%) on the rear window. Basically, I doubt there's any difference between the rear deck and the roof.
