Sirius Antenna

Can someone take a picture of the Sirius Antenna showing the "tail" section and how it should correctly be routed into the car.

My dealer butchered my install and I'd like to show them the correct install. The wire is exposed on mine.

Thanks

I think there are a lot of different types of Sirius antennae (sp?). Show us a picture of what you have and maybe we can help you out.
(I put my Sirius antenna in my rear spoiler)

Does the Sirius Antenna work OK inside the rear spoiler?

Nope. Had to move mine up top but its black so it looks ok for now. I think I read somewhere that you can get one of those "shark fin" deals to cover it up.

Yes. Several of us have the sat rad antenna inside the rear spoiler.

have you looked at this write up yet

I did the sirius retrofit in my 01 X and I have excellent reception with the antenna inside the spoiler. I like the fact that its completely stealth and clean and no one can tell that I have Sirius in my car.
Good luck

Just finished installing mine (low-profile antenna) inside the spoiler and the reception is fine.
