Just got in our accessories CD's and saw this. There has to be a better place for it.

I can think of a good place for it...

I hate car stereos anyway, and this is another reason - 500000 channels of bad music. I prefer the mechanical stirrings of a finely tuned machine at redline!

My other job as a high end audio journalist brings me some awesome stereo gear, so I cannot tolerate the crud you get in cars anymore.

That thing looks awful, like a giant zit!

 

blues2000boy had that silly thing on the top of his trunk, he bought a magnet one and magnetized that b*tch to the INSIDE of the trunk- i think he's reception stayed the same... i rather get no reception, than have a tumor on the trunk of my car- even if my car was a geo storm!

 

this is true i had the stupid mouse looking XM one of my trunk hated it but had no other options at the time. i now have the new smaller magnet one that they sell and it works fine on the underside of my trunk.

 

 

A number of folks have posted that they've installed the [non-magnetic] antenna in the base of their secret compartment . Quite stealthy.

 

i never listen to the radio anyway. if i listen to any music at all, its in my cd player.

 

Interesting that the xm antenna is so large while my GPS antenna fits just fine between the air vents by the windshield.

I think that trunk antenna would look better color matched.

I wouldn't go as far as to say it's stupid, actually it's rather inventive and informative in the fact that you don't necessarily need line of sight to get reception with an XM antenna.

You do have a point though, it does use up space in the compartment, although not a whole lot. Perhaps you could devise a better stealth area for mounting it. The first thought that came to my mind was cutting it into the underside of the secret compartment lid.
