Dare I drill the roof...
Hello. I have a 2001 4.4 X5 with the glass sliding roof. I will mount a communication radio (actually a ham radio) in the rear right side. There is plenty of room there. (No subwoofer). But the problem is the antenna. Fairly high power (50W max), so glass antenna is no option. Anyone who has dared drill the roof in the middle, say 15 inches from the roof spolier? The car has radio, phone, nav and TV, so I guess there is already 4 antennea in the roof spoiler? Also, will there be problems routing the antenna cable down the C-(what-do-you-call-it-in-english...) with respect to the airbags (ITS) system?
Postings in ham radio forums came up zip...
Thanks for any help! (Any hams out there..?)
