XM Antenna

Question,

Should I mount the Roof Antenna on the Roof!!!!!!!!!, or on the Trunk Lid like some have?

Gonna install it in a few minutes just wondering what location you guys think is best.

Mine is mounted in the center of the shelf behind the rear seats. I didn't want it on the exterior for many reasons. I have perfect reception and you never even know the antenna is there.

Will it work okay you think with Metalic Tint ? I would think so considering the NAVI has good reception too and that is under the rear shelf

Not sure about the tint, but give it a try. The install guys tested mine on the rear shelf before doing it to make sure it would work. Try inside first. If it doesn't work, then consider the outside.

Trunk lid as well. I didn't even try on the shelf b/c of the tint. There's no doubt it would effect reception being this far north (New England).
