Sirius XM

[sliderock]

My daughter just gave me all the necessary equipment for the Sirius set up. It works great as long as I am headed in a southerly direction but not good at all when I am headed north as the antenna is on the dash and therefore no reception.

I need to have the antenna on the roof but don't want to start drilling holes. Any ideas?

Have you tried to see if it'll work anywhere inside by moving the antenna around the length of the wire? I'm kind of surprised because when I had it on my Goldwing, it was in a closed trunk and I never had a problem. I was thinking you could put the antenna in the forward overhead cabinet and run the wire to where you have the unit sitting.

That was what I was hoping for but so far I haven't found the right spot. I'm headed uot now to try some more.

Thanks.

Well, I just hadn't tried hard enough as I attached the antenna forward of the A/C and it works very well.

I used to have the little Sirius block antenna placed on my car's dashboard and had not direction based issues the real problem was overhanging trees blocking the signal. Once I got out from under tree lined roads no problem.
