Sirius post

I installed the Sirius plug and play, the Stratus.
Easier than I thought.
I think I did a good job routing the wires.
I didn't want the antenna on the exterior of the car, so I put the antenna into the well for the carseat hook, removing the hook cover completely.
No wire on the rear deck, and the antenna fits nice and snug for a clean look.
Reception is great.
Also took shot from the other side so you can see where I routed the wires.
The wires from the unit into the crease by the glovebox are all you see.
I'm pretty happy.

I like how you did your antenna, that's clean

I like where your ant is better then what I did, which was just put it on the roof of the car.

I stuck mine under the dash, behind the instrument cluster.

Your antenna is under the dash?

 

[rocket88]

yup, it's just plastic.

On another forum someone said they mounted theirs under the rear deck.
If the antenna doesn't need to see the sky, why does Sirius make a big deal about placement, and why does Ford mount the factory Sirius antenna in such a ridiculous spot?
Seems pointless.

My reception is fine except near my house, when I travel down the hill, and amongst the redwoods.
Just my luck I live surrounded by the worlds tallest trees.
