Satellite Radio Antenna Help
Have a '04 S55, factory installed in Sirius Receiver with an aftermarket antenna mounted on the rear shelf close to the sunshade. I am getting poor reception after trying 2 antennas. Is the only option to get a factory trunk mounted antenna? Please advise, I have seen many installations with the antenna mounted on the rear shelf or dash and work fine.

place under under the vent on the hood... lazy people put em on the dash and rear deck lids... where they don't work right... seriously, we have shark fin antennas for a reason.... reliable operation!
