Satellite Radio Antenna Mounting...

[sputnik]

So my girlfriend got me Sirius Satellite Radio for Christmas and I'm just getting around to installing it. The question is WTF to do w/ the wire than runs from the antenna to the unit?

Roof mounting it, where should I go? Through the trunk? Through a door?

I mounted the antenna on top of the roof in the back about 5in forward from the back window so i can run the black wire. I then ran the black wire in the rubber trim all the way to the front to the drivers door then into the car where i mounted the unit under the cd player by the cup holders.

I have my sirius antenna mounted on the rear deck inside the car. Works awesome. No ugly antenna or pain in the ass wires to run.

i've got mine installed on the trunk lid kinda right before the spoiler. that way its not so obvious.

I have mine installed right above the windshield, then ran the wire in the seal for the windshield down the inside of the A-pillar and than under the dash nice clean install.

Are you playing through an FM transmiter or directly connected to your stereo?

[sputnik]

Directly connected.

I removed the lid to the center anchor between the rear speakers and mounted mine there. I was able to run the wires through that hole, into the trunk.

I have mine mounted between the two defrost vents on the dash under the cover and never have a problem.

Ditto. Painted it body color to match too... that way it almost disappears.

Not only that, I put it on a piece of body color vinyl so when it gets moved
around, it scratches the vinyl... not the paint.

there is a website that specializes in color matched satelite antennas.. colormatchantenna.com i believe

as for me, i use mine in multiple cars so i just sit the antenna on a dash stickypad while im using it in the srt

Just tuck it in the dash. That's where mine is mounted also.
