Default XMCommander Install Question?

Anyone installed a XMCommander sat receiver in a C5. Looks like the dispaly unit might mount where the cig and ashtray are located.

Where did you mount the antenna??

I just installed one yesterday and I put the antenna on the right side of my dash near the windshield. Getting great reception so far... It is fairly noticeable but it is a lot better than having the antenna on the car. Some other folks located their antenna inside the rear bumper. I was planning on doing that but was worried about reception...
