I tried this with XM and the reception in canyons was crappy. I put it on the trunk and I have much better reception. I have the dead mouse (1" by 1") from Grubbs instead of the rat. Maybe it's XM v. Sirius or the smaller antennaOriginally Posted by kevind2100
You don't even need to put the antenna on the roof. I just put my Sirius in this week and velcro'd the antenna on the rear deck inside the back window. The wire runs through the child seat anchor point into the trunk. You can't get cleaner than that. The reception is no better or worse than having it on the roof.

That is the same antenna that I have. So far I just get the occasional break in reception going under freeway overpasses as I did with my last car. I don't have any canyons here in Phoenix to experiment. I'll be in So Cal in a few weeks. I'll hit the canyon roads there.

Has anyone changed the dead rat for a FUNCTIONING shark fin or other finished looking/paintable antenna?

I looked at a couple other cars today and the fin is right by the window so I guess I will just leave it how it is....

I saw one on a new Benz (unsure what class) the other day and it was actually on the rear window. The area of the window was black, but I am sure it was on the window. Just looked at the MBZ website...it's on the C class sedan.Originally Posted by digital1986
