A Hidden Satellite radio Antenna??
Tuesday, February 28, 2006 10:29 AM
Do any of the satellite radio companies have a antenna that either goes in the car or on the back window??

I just picked up a pioneer DEH-6400 deck from a fellow .org member and i want to hook up either XM or Sirius radio. BUT i dont want thier antenna on my roof or deck lid. (more so my roof, I might go deck lid if no other options). So do any companies make less obvious antennas?

Thanks.

All Sirius antenna's can be put in the car, on the dash or deck lid. I have a few friends doing that.

I've seen XM antenna's put in one of the top child seat anchors.

Thats good to hear, I really didnt want to put it on the outside of my car. Does this effects sounds quality??

different car but when we bought my wifes equinox got the dealership to install xm as part of the deal they installed the hidden antenna and after about a month I had her take it back it to have an external antenna put on due to poor reception, with the external hardly ever drops signal

xm has fewer satellites than sirius does, that might be the reason for your poor reception.

i have an old school kenwood sirius antenna in the bigger child anchor on my rear decklid, the drop is a little longer to come back after i go under big bridges, but other than that, no difference whatsoever. and i have a limo tint installed on the back window.

i have sirius and the antenna is in the child anchor on the deck and i have no problems with it. minus the whole big bridge/tunnel thing. but that's to be expected.
