Default Sirius Antenna

My truck came without the factory Sirius antenna. I had the dealer install the Sirius module with the sync system. Unfortunately, I have the magnetic antenna. Has anyone found a way to install the factory one??

Same here. They tried to put it on the dash and it did not work, the signal was constantly being interrupted. So they moved it to the right side of the windshield on top of the cab. That is where it was on my last car as well. I was toying with moving it next to the am-fm ant. on the hood.

I don't know about installing the factory one, but I have aftermarket Sirius with the small round magnetic antenna and I put it just above the windshield in the middle. Then I ran the wire down under the rubber and thru the firewall. It doesn't look bad if you keep it close to the windshield with no wire showing..
