I bought a SiriusXM tuner (SXV200V1) for my new head unit but the stock antenna is horrible and refuse to mount it to the outside of my Z. Does anyone know of a "stock-like" antenna that is compatible with this device? I know just about every car coming out these days has an option for an SiriusXM tuner, but I dont know if they would have a connector that is compatible.

Thanks!!

 

Why not mount the antenna inside your vehicle?

Here is a picture of my Sirius antenna mount on the rear strut-bar.

I was thinking of mounting it in the same spot but ended up putting mine a couple of inches in the front windshield. I live in a pretty wooded area in MD and on my way to work I go under a lot of overpasses, and I lose reception often.

My wife's Nissan Rogue has SiriusXM and she hardly ever has an reception problems, so I figured there would be an "OEM" antenna that I could mount on my Z that would have the same connector as the SXV200V1. It would be up high, look stock, and would have great reception. Hmmm.

Do you have reception problems when going under overpasses and wooded roads, Spike?

 

No to that (Do you have reception problems when going under overpasses and wooded roads, Spike?").

But I am in an urban area with satelite repeaters.

You will lose reception occasionally in heavily wooded areas where the satellites are blocked. Sirius is working on solutions that solve this problem. In my reception area, this problem is already solved
