Default Re: Nav antenna placement

I had to remove my front seats and console to put my Sirius tuner underneath it. I ran my AVN-5510 Eclipse wire under the console across the rear carpet and up behind the rear seat back and out my back slider window for now. It's just a temp set up until I can drop the rear part of the headliner and run it and the Sirius antenna wire through the rear brake light opening to the roof. Eclipse cautioned against installing their antenna inside because some window tints can cause reception problems that can retard the receivers ability to react as quickly to a directional change. I tried mine on the dash when I tested it to make sure I had everything connected properly and it didn't respond as quickly as it does with the roof as a reflector.

If a combo of all these whizz bangs met their claims you'd have to syphon gas out of your tank every second day and sell the excess horsepower on the third????
