  • Satellite Radio Antenna Placement

    Just Curious where ppl have placed there Satelite radio antenna. I put my in the dash right below the vent in the center of the dash, It works pretty well except when I go through heavily wooded areas, I know when I had it on the roof on my old car it didnt drop out near as much. I first thought about running it up through the t-top stripping and placing it along the T-bar but its fiberglass and the magnet wouldnt stick. I dont want to use tape or glue and the wire must be hidden as much as possible I hate seeing wires.

    Maybe run it back and tie it in with the stock antenna?

      Could go in a front fender or in the rear hatch area, its a plastic/fiberglass so the signal should pass through, thats what we did on my bosses vette, hidden in the back. Impossible to find, the dealer looked for hours after playing with the car after service, haha.

        Can you argue that it's "revolutionary"? Perhaps. Just because it's "new" and "different" doesn't mean it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.

            I also thought I heard before of an antenna wire that goes on your windshield or rear hatch and it's basically invisible to the eye but it's still an antenna and works good.
