im curious myself about installing XM. I dont know where to put the antenna. im afraid its gonna look like hell no matter where i put it. anyone have it installed?

cudaman has it, he has a small antenna on his back glass on his rt/10. he has a dark car that hides it somewhat, it would def. look gross on a gts

XM is coming out with a replacement glass windshield for your car with the antenna mounted inside the glass, you can't really see it and it looks good.

They have little antennas that look just like a little " long bump" (a few inches long) now. You will not even see it unless you look for it.

I will dig up a pic later if I can find one.

close but no cigar yet. I see mercedes with a small antenna and assume it is for XM. I gotta find a smaller one than roughly 2 1/2 by 2 1/2

I have not yet found a pic of the one I am looking for.

I will find it someday [img]/images/graemlins/laughing.gif[/img] :bonk:Can't remember where I saw it

I have the Alpine XM radio installed in my GTS with a 12'' JL W6 and two JL audio subs,, boston acoustic up front. The antennae for my XM radio is mounted inside behind the driver compartment. I have it covered in black carper to match the car, it's pretty much invisible and I have no XM radio reception problems. If you would like me to post pictures of the system let me know...

plumcrazy · August 15th, 2003, 06:30 PM

or email me some pics of it.
