+1 xm is pretty sweet. Thye only problem I had is that becasue th MR roof, trunk, and fenders are aluminum I knew that the magnetic antena for XM wouldnt stick. I decided to get the Pioneer Inno (think iPod but with an XM antenna built in) and set it on my dash far forward so it gets reception and jack that into an aftermarket head unit. Works like a charm! i have a 2 and a half inch antenna from a vendor on ebay called "Mangowalk". Looks great and gets all the main channels where I live. Not as good as stock but good enough for me. I dont get those chanelnels that were fuzzy before, but all of the ones that were clear on the stock antenna come in no problem aslo on this one.

 

I picked up a Honda Element Antenna from the local Honda dealership for $35 with tax...OUCH. But it looks good and my radio reception is better han stock.

Anyone want to buy a mini antenna?

 

i have a mr as well. i used a xm ready head unit and put the little mouse ant. way forward on the dash where the windshield meets. and i have no problem. congrats on the inno. i think i am going to replace my nexxis with one for my truck.

 

+1 on SIRIUS

I mounted the antenna by the passanger side A-pillar on the dash and it looks soooo clean.

One you get Sirius you will hate to listen to regular radio
I know

 

i personally dont have a problem with the perrin... dunno

 

I would get the Agency power one it looks and fits better than the honda one and I have never had any reception problems with mine

 

s2000

 

My Perrin works just fine...nice snug connection....it's the 2" too.

 

the s2k antenna looks funny on there.......get an evo 7 antenna there like half the size and fit better than the s2k one. thats what i got.

 

wait so the perrin shorties actually don't hold reception?

i picked up an extra shorty(i call it the midget), off some german ebay-company..
it does nothing in the sense of reception but look @ the damn thing.. it's a midget!

 

Wow now thats a small one you got there...

 

go with the s2k

 

that was awesome

 

I took the one off my friend's civic si works great

 

Im glad to see I am not the only one with degraded reception with the perrin shorty. It is especially bad if I am trying to listen to a VA station in Maryland. The stocker didnt have that problem, but boy was it ugly.
