    I’m in a 2015 Cascadia and have installed a SiriusXM antenna on a bracket on the drivers side mirror. The stock antenna (somewhere in the roof panel) sucks. Will it interfere with the Sirius antenna if I install a CB antenna on that same bracket? The radio is a 29LTD that has been peeked and tuned and is dead key @ 24 watts. TIA

    Xm antenna on passenger side or back of cab up high.
    Cb antenna on drivers side.
    Quick, cheap, and easy.

    No it won't, I have my XM radio antenna right next to my cb antenna on the RV truck.

    For best results the top of the XM radio antenna should be 13 foot 6 inches off the ground otherwise the signal will be obstructed by the body of the vehicle when the body of the vehicle comes between the antenna and the incoming signal. Ideally you should be traveling in any direction without losing signal.
