Thanks

Where to place Sirius antenna?
- Thread starter FPapiSalOC
- Start date
I just installed my Sirius antenna last weekend. The way I installed mine is through the Third Brake light boot onto the roof. Then down the back window to the Power inwerter where I had 12V available and a straight shot to the TV tuner to connect it to the IP bus. Mine is connected to my Pioneer AVIC-Z1
You however have a more unique situation. It seems you have the protable Ipod style. So you would probabilly get the Sirius FM Direct Adapter. Model # FMDA25
You will need to remove the dash face plate. Remove the factory radio with a 7mm socket. Install the FM Direct adapter between the OEM radio. then route the jack adapter for your Stiletto somewhere
while still having a view of the sky overhead. Probabilly the best senario would be to fine some kind of cell phone type adapter that will clip into that center vent or perhaps try routing it through the center console cupholder if you have one, and it will still get antenna signal. It's not exactly the best senario.

Now that I think of it. You can also try going to Best Buy or Circuit city. ask them what you will need then go out and procure the parts yourself. That's an example of taking the easy way out.

The reason I am asking is because in the manual says to place it in the back of the vehicle. GM places it on the front so I just wanted to see where other people were placing the antennas on the front or rear.

OMG I'm like Dune, 
Mine is installed under the sail panel also.
Great reception and nothing is visible

under the headliner and out the third brake light hole. Made a bracket.. more "l-shaped" and mounted the antenna's directly to there... off the back end of the cab as you can tell from the photo. There is plenty of room to move it back off the cab. It wouldn't work if it was mounted directly to the cab as the third brake light cladding sits flush on the cab.

Looks like you may be able to sell your brackets.

Can you give me a part number or what section of the store it was at. I have been to Lowe's, Home Depot and Walmart and none say they carry the brackets. Are those metal or plastic?
