Satellite antena in spoiler instructions

Anyone have pics of the spoiler removal to put the magnetic antenna in there? Once again...the "kit" from EAS for XM is great, and so easy to instal...love it thanks Tom

Tomcat provided you the links that all of us have used as guides for this installation. If that information isn't what you are looking for, please ask specifically for what you need. I have done the "sat ant in spoiler" procedure, and could perhaps help, if I knew exactly what you were needing.

Probably the best spot for the antenna - we use this all the time on installs here.

I did the install and find that I do not get as good of a signal on wooded roads in TN. Not too big of a deal, but have noticed a small difference since moving it from on the roof to in the spoiler (I prefer the look and couldn't care less if I loose a little reception)

Can someone post the contents of the complete kit and what the antenna looks like, etc.?

The kit from them is just the XM Direct unit with the Blitzsafe converter box. this is the XM unit the blitzsafe is just a little yellow box that you connect to the XM and the car and it tricks the car into thinking it is a Sirius controller box. Great product.
