Default antenna question?

Ok, so I have sirius satellite radio, and i want a shorter antenna. Well we called a guy about ordering one and he said that you couldnt put a different antenna on and still have sirius satellite radio? Is this true?

Satelliate radio antenna is that little black thing on the truck lid. That is if you got it from ford.

AM/FM antenna has nothing to do with the sirius antenna. I replace mine with an 8" antenna and I also have sirius. Its 2 seperate things.

sorry to go off topic but, doesn anyone have the 8" shorty antenna? If yes, how's the reception on it compared to stock? And how about the 14"?

this made me think of a question that i wanted to get answered...is there a antenna delete kit for a 06 mustang...i know there is one for foxes and new edge stangs

and if you dont know what this is its a flat little plastic piece that covers up the hole from the antenna when you take it off

I have an 8" shorty antenna....the reception is identical to stock as far as I can tell. I mostly listen to sirius but when I installed it I tried it out for a bit and could'nt tell a difference between it and the stock "cb radio antenna" haha

Siris has it's own seperate antenna. Also I've got a 13" antenna and there is no difference from stock.

I have the 8" reception is fine, all my radio stations are close by and there are no terrain features though.

If you live in Boondocks, USA you may wan't to leave the stock mast. Your the only person who knows where your favorite stations are though.

UPR Makes a billet aluminum delete for 05 thru 07 stangs. They run about $14.00 + shipping. You can order one thru unjustified motorsports.com or straight from UPR. I have one installed on my pony and F150. Hope this helps
