I haven't been here for a while so forgive me if this is the Xth repeat of the same question.

I'm bringing my 2006 ZO6 radio into the 21st century. The radio will have Sat radio capability. I have the subscription already, plus Pandora.

I want to get a bit better sat reception than I get now with the antenna in one of the side mirrors. If you have an aftermarket sat radio installed, where did you locate the new antenna ?
Please note: "On the roof" is NOT an option. I have heard of the antenna being placed under the center grille above the speaker. I have personally seen an antenna installed in the engine area by the front cowl near the A/C intake. (Looked like it was glued on). If you have used any other areas feel free to give some suggestions.

I'm not installing a "super" system, all I'm doing is swapping the current OEM radio with a new one.

Thanks in advance

Yep. you can mount it on the top of the duct work above the radio, but below the dash top.




If you want to add a second one in, then inside the rear bumper cover, and pull one of the rear tail lights to get inside that void area.

I located my XM antenna in the rear of the car. I pulled the carpet away from the rear wall of the bucket about even with the license plate and used 3M tape to locate it there. It is. short run from where the actual Xm receiver is located behind the driver and above the wheel. As you know the car does not have a metal skin so to the satellite signal it might as well be transparent...... It has worked well for me and I am using the factory nav radio.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but to those who have added a new or additional receiver - did you notice improved reception as a result?
