Whats up everyone ! I was wondering if anyone has put satelite radio on there EVO ? I wanted to replace the stock antenna with the satelite antenna using the same spacebut don't know if it is capable does anyone know if it is ?? Where have some of you installed your antennas?

 

If you take off the stock antenna, obviously you will lose standard radio. What I did was to mount the Sirius/XM antenna (I have had both) on the roof by the windshield and run the thin wire down the weather stripping.



Yes, world's dirtiest TB Evo, I know.

 

I mounted mine on the dash board in the center up close to the windshield no probs with reception

 

ya i just keep mine on the dash in the car. then if i want to use it somewhere else i can.

 

Yep, dash mounting works fine too, although the sound would cut off sometimes when passing large trucks. That was with an old XM antenna; perhaps they are better now.

 

i have mine monted on the trunk just after the rear window(sirius) it is very small and looks fine. Given the stock antenna makes the car look like a RC car i dont think you would want to get rid of it, just go lower profile

 

Im' installing mine next week. have anyone installed the "Sirius SIR-ALP1 Satellite Radio for 2004-up Alpine " sirius tuner box yet? I didn't search for it yet, but since this thread popped up I thought I'd see where others were mounting the tuner box.

 

on the trunk seems pretty normal but i like the antenna on the middle of the dash

 

I just mounted my tuner box in the trunk.

 

and then the antenna on the rear trunk outside, or inside on the rear deck lid between the speakers?

 

I ran the antenna outside the trunk...let me see if i can find a pic...

 

I ran one like that for my gf's car and she's having issues with tiny tiny scratches under the magnet.

 

hmm, i haven't had any issues thus far

 

mine is on my rear deck inside my car, no reception problems at all. the wire is routed along the speaker surround on the deck, can't tell it's there other than the antenna itself

 

oh yea, on my last car i ran the antenna to the roof as suggested in the instructions, it didn't look good (not terrible cause the car was black) and i scratched the car when i was adjusting it because the magnet was so strong, it was tough to move without a lot of force. that's why i decided to go inside my car for this one
