Could you possibly post a picture of the antenna mounted on your car?

Go w/ Sirius. 3 bucks extra per month, no crap commercials , no idiot DJ either . Don't get me wrong XM is good, I have it in my office. Sirius is just better overall IMO. If you want to FM modulate Sirius will give you FREE equipment too!!!




Here is a pick of my antenna install. I don't have any issues w/ drop outs with the antenna placed here.

I'll try to get a pic to post, but if you can imagine the wire coming out forward of the trunk lid (toward the bow using nautical terms), amidships, the antenna is placed on the roughly 4-inch strip forward of the trunk lid. They were going to put it on the lid itself, but I didn't like that.

I really can't argue for XM over Sirius. I don't mind the few commercials on the few stations that have them. I like saving $3 per month and I have more confidence (not necessarily all that well-founded, admittedly) that XM will survive and that Sirius may not. Also, not sure there is an equivalent to SkyFi for Sirius and that was the clincher for me.
