Antennas can go anywhere since it's a plastic car. Mine are on the rear frame. I removed a tail light and used their magnets to stick them to the frame. My mic is on my rearview mirror. It's pretty much worthless in a vert, top up or down.

If you pull the defrost vent off, you can stick the gps and xm antennas in there. Then you can run the wire over by the cluster without removing anything. As for the microphone, I pull the a pillar off and attached it to my sun visor.

Sat antenna won't do too well on vents if you don't remove center speaker.

GPS ant can be anywhere.

Good spot for mic is same as OEM, top of A pillar.

I tried the sirius on the rear bumper, too much bad reception maybe due to hilly area. Moved it all around and found the best place is the right corner of the dash where the windshield meets the a-pillar. Antenna just sits there with wire run under side if the dash to the console and radio. This spot worked much better than the center top of the rear window.

I hid my mic in my center air vent. Works great, just make sure you don't have the ac on when talking.
