No you can't use a stock antenna... you need the satellite antenna. JLIMQUEST's placement is probably best. It depends on where you live and if they have terrestrial antennas or not. If so, you may be able to place it inside.. otherwise, it should go on the roof.

Both, my GPS and Sat antenna's are on that small flat strip in the middle of the dash. I have the Pioneer systems and both antennas are very small.

I get a little "cut out" on the SAT radio from time to time but I much prefer the stealth over having something stuck to my roof.

Do a search. I have previously posted about my SAT Antenna install in the location for the stock GPS antenna, under the driver side upper dash cover. Of course if you have NAV this spot will not be available.

Same Spot for me also, Does not cut out enough to make it an issue.
I hid my Sirius tuner for my ddx-7015 behind the panel behind the drivers seat, theres alot of room back there.
