Default Satellite Radio pics

My parents got me Sirius satellite radio for Christmas and we don't know where the best spot to mount it. I was just wondering where some of you guys with them have them mounted and where you put the antenna thing(not sure what to call it )So if ya could post up a few pics it would be great

I have my antenna on the dashboard, all the way at the front where it's closest to the windshield. Works fairly good so far, but I do have some outages when I drive down the road to my house...dunno what it is...big powerlines maybe?

If it acts up anymore, I'll have them reposition it on the roof or back glass where a lot of people have it.

My head unit was Sirius capable, so I don't need to mount one of those external thingies.

I had XM in my other f body, they mounted my antenna on top of my head unit in the dash and it had great reception. My display was in front of my cubby hole (A4). The metal from the head unit really helped amplify the signal too

I just installed a Starmate Replay sirius unit the other day. I mounted the antenna on top of my rearview mirror and the receiver is right above the factory cd player. It's held with velcro on the small area right below the AC vents. I might be able to get some pics later if i can find a digi camera around.

nice what did you use to mount the antenna? double sided tape?

and the headunit did you have to mod anything to get it to work with the factory HU?
and how did you mount it there?

Double sided tape for the antenna and the reciever(I put the reciever on the included flexible mount, then taped it to the plate that the TCS switch is on)
It wasn't required, but I used an FM modulator installed inline with the antenna (kills the antenna when using the XM) it sounds better IMO than using the built in modulater
