    to fix your antenna problem get the trucker antenna which hooks up to your mirror. my dad hooked one up to his boat and man it did the trick. If you have a company truck ask if you can take out the radio to hardwire the xm because you will have to switch the radio freq way too many times!

    ok that makes sence now. you know it seems that every time you buy something it always cost you more money for the add-ons. they must have replacement antennas you can buy?

    Yeah you can buy replacement antennas too. I think tss-radio has those also.

    I have put the antenna in the over-head storage with success as well.

    I don't know if some antennas are different than others or what, but mine has a hard time handling the dark tinted windows of a KW mid-roof sleeper.

    The only problem with PC/XM is they don't have any "TALK" stations on.
