Bought a Delphi Roady 2 for the vette. Where did you guys mount your antenna? I think I'm going to buy one of those flex mounts that hooks up to the seat bolts or just velcro it to something.

I ran mine up behind the dash and brought it out in the corner of the dash on the pass side , mines a vert , so I didn't have allot of mounting options , but works like a charm

mine is mounted on the dash, dead center. Its the micro version, so it doesn't seem out of place. Works like a charm.

I have the XM Commander, it's antenna is mounted under the fiberglass just behind the hinge to the rear deck lid. Reception is as good as my Maxima which has the antenna mounted on the trunk lid.

Well, I installed one kit in the F150 yesterday and it took all of 10 minutes. Strong recommend for those guys that don't want to change their stock vette. It transmittes through your FM antenna or cassette.
