sirius no longer, antenna?
after i got the kenwood dnx 5120 installed, i lost my free sirius subscription, no big deal, but now i got 2 ugly antennas on my trunk. the GPS antenna can be moved around and i disconnected the sirius antenna. i was just going to take it out, but what do i do about the gaping hole in the trunk? i wanted to run the GPS antenna to the hole, but the hole is too big. has anyone removed this and how did you "repair" the hole? i would just ignore it, but 2 mag antenna on the trunk is ugly. by the way, im not sure where to grind or cut to stop the rattle in the boomtubes either, i read into the post pretty well too.

I put my GPS antenna under the carpet on the back deck and it works perfectly and is out of sight. I also put my Pioneer sirius antenna under there as well. I had factory sirius and just left it on the trunklid.

What did you do with your factory Sirius receiver behind the panel on the passenger side (along with the cable that runs from it to the back of the Shaker)? I've been looking to get the receiver to add to my car and get the Sirius unit off my dash.

yes, its a kenwood indash, with a small mag mount external antenna. it is an eyesore on that car, probably wouldnt look bad on a tahoe or something, but ugly on that trunk. i will relocate it to the carpet area. i didnt know there was a reciever behind the dash...i will have to look but i dont really feel like pulling that back out of the dash again.
