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.

Thought I'd better update my older post after moving both of my antennas from my roof to the under dash location. After a lot of thought I figured I'd rather lose some reception than advertise that the truck had both a satellite and nav system on board. I realize that all one would have to do is look inside the cab to see what's there but at least from a drive by a shopper it wouldn't wave a flag. I did lose some signal strength on both systems but so far all I've seen is the satellite radio signal will drop out more quickly going under overpasses and the nav unit signal hasn't yet. It's only been a week since the move and I'll update this post if things deteriorate.

PS: I did put a 2"x 2" ferrous metal plate under each one to anchor them.
