mounting sirius antenna discretely is it possible??

[gqjeff 10+ year member]

Can you get away with mounting it inside the car if it is not blocked by metal like a GPS antenna or is outside the car a must? I bought a used HU and it also came with the siriustuner and all so I mine as well get the most out of it. If I have to I can mount it towards the rear window on the trunk lid but if I can mount it somewhere I can hide it that would be great. I am thinking not though because with my other vehicle that has factory XM I lose signal when stopping under canopies and such. The car is blue so it will stick out if it was black it would not bother me at all.

Peace

I stick mine in between a-pillar and headboard and it seemed to work well except when a semi truck was to my right.

i ran mine down the drivers side trim pieces (with the speaker wire) and then into the trunk. under the carpet and out on top, a ziptie or 2 to hold the cable to the rear deck lid and run it under the weather strip. 3m double sided tape holds it nicely in place on the rear window and it is barely noticeable. never had a problem with reception for over 2 years.

Put it in the dash as close to the windshield as possible.

Thats kind of what I was looking to do if I can not mount it inside the car.. I might try it in the dash close to the window first and check reception.
