Sirius antenna question

Can I mount the antenna in the trunk so it's not visible?

If there is any metal over the antenna it won't work. You might try placing if on your rear deck so it has a clear view of the sky through the window.

I tried putting it on the rear deck underneath the rear window, but I still had reception problems. Once I put it on the roof all my troubles went away

Sirius Antenna

I have mine inside on my back deck near my speaker, I have a Starmate Replay and always get 3 bars (max is 3 on mine) and get a really good signal.

My issue is the static from what I'm guessing is the FM Transmitter. I have an 02 TL.

Well I have XM and right now I have my antenna sitting on the dash and it works fine although not as good as the roof. However I refuse to have an antenna stuck to my roof. Benifit to XM is the terrestial repeaters and if you are close enough to one your antenna would work in your trunk. Im not trying to say one company is better than another just pointing out some facts. Hey I have stock in sirius and I own an XM radio. Sirius reception around here is garbage
