Default "Secret Compartment" for Satellite Radio Antenna

So I've seen a few people with their satellite radio antenna installed and they refer to the "secret spot" they put it in - where is that? All of the photos are too close up (esspecially since I am new to this car). I want to put my sirius unit in the car - where do I put the satellite antenna? THanks. And yes I tried search although I suck with it.

EDIT: spot is actually meant to be compartment. just the same, where

Not the "secret spot", they are putting it in the "secret compartment." Took me a minute to figure out what you were saying versus what they probably told you.

If we told you, it wouldn't be a secret

It's above the regular compartment, there is a release in that one. (unless you have the '06, it doesnt have one.)

I have seen the antenna placed in the roll hoops (a good option), on the dash and on the exterior of the car.

Thanks for sharing the secret. I wanted to find a place where it will work with the top both up or down. I dont think the rear plastic window will present a challenge for the power of satellite

Actually it shouldnt. I have my house Sirius installed and the antenna is inside the house. The window shouldnt effect it.

I do have mine installed outside the car.
