Have any of you installed an XM Radio receiver and if so, which model did you select and where did you place the antenna?

i have the xm radio fm modulator from pioneer. it was $200 at sound advice and i put the antenna right in the middle of the trunk. i know some people who have put it inside the trunk but i hear you get black outs some times.

I have the Pioneer GEX-P900XM add-on (my Pioneer HU was XM ready, as are all Pioneer HUs made since the mid-90s, so a Pioneer tech told me). I placed the unit itself in the trunk in the spare tire space (along with the amp, and AUX Pioneer add-on, which I added for sending the StreetPilot III audio through the system). The SONY AN-XM100 antenna is in the small upper tray in the hidden compartment, next to the antenna for the StreetPilot GPS. Reception is perfect.

I went the way of Sirius instead of XM. For an extra 3 bucks a month, I have no commercials. Now that I have satellite radio I don't think I could live without it. Listening to regular radio is actually painful. I have a Kenwood MP-919 headunit with a kenwood satellite receiver (placed under passenger seat). The antenna is in the passenger roll cage hoop and works perfectly.b

I just had SkyFi installed. Well, you don't actually install SkyFi, you install the Vehicle module and the main unit can move to any module. I have a module at home (antenna can be nearly anywhere) and will soon have one in my RSX. Best Buy did the installation. I really love it. They didn't want to install the antenna inside, because Delphi doesn't recommend it, so I had them put it just forward of the trunk lid. Looks like it belongs there. It very rarely cuts out and then only if I'm stuck under a large bridge.
