Hey Steve!!


I’m not going to repeat the long winded explanation I gave TonytheTiger below (or above) but I too installed the XM Satellite kit. I was worried about the reception as well so I mounted the kit antenna on my roof – it is magnetic.

Did you get a permanent one? Is it good looking? Matches the paint?

What brand is it and where did you get it?

How did you mount it to the roof? You did not have to drill did you?

I assume its connector fits the Toyota XM Module tucked in near the battery in the trunk?



Please let me know,
Randyman
