linuxbatm Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Searched and didn't find much wagon love. Any suggestions on where to put a satellite antenna on a wagon? I ordered an inside windshield mount antenna but I am not sure how good the reception will be. Any other suggestions inside the car? I hate punching holes in grommets to snake antenna wire through.

robinlsb Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Searched and didn't find much wagon love. Any suggestions on where to put a satellite antenna on a wagon? I ordered an inside windshield mount antenna but I am not sure how good the reception will be. Any other suggestions inside the car? I hate punching holes in grommets to snake antenna wire through. I have had 2 xm antennas installed on my wagon.The best is one installed on the back of the roof(lots of wire) The one installed on the front,tended to die,because even a little part of the wire,exposed to wind,would wobble, and in the end would fail.

Max Capacity Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 In my Spec B I just stock it to the upper part of the windshield next to the EZ-Pass. You can mount it inside the car under the metal ? didn't know that. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD).

linuxbatm Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Thanks all. I will give the window mount a try and see how reception works. What antenna are you guys using that have it stuck to the window? The OEM one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonybuttons Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I have mine on the dash. Cuts out where it would normally cut out, under dense trees, bridges, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
