So far I've had no issues with the antenna on the back deck. When I had my Sportster 5 in the car (same antenna and location) it showed a full satellite signal and about half terrestrial signal....can't get much better then that. I think there is a way to measure signal strength through the factory head unit, but I can't seem to find the post on how to get into those menus.

branks, what kind of antenna did you get and where?how much $?

I picked up the antenna from BestBuy, however I no longer see it on their website.

Here is a link to Crutchfield

You should be able to buy one locally.

thanks buddy

Having said that....I just read the reviews on Crutchfield for that antenna.....

I have personally not had any issues with this antenna (use the same one on my boat for the last year), but obviously others have. So you might want to look for a different model. Terk perhaps.

i have this antenna for all my sirius units. never had a problem. i placed this antenna on the speaker deck of my g35 w/tint (connnected to factory in trunk unit) and never had any issues

Am I the only one who thinks Sirius sounds terrible? XM sounds much better.

TerribleONE453

I believe so... ^^ every car iv heard sirius in sounded nicee

bfranks

They sounded exactly the same to me when I had the Starmate and factory XM going at the same time. However living in Houston we have a decent network of terrestrial repeaters for both Sirius and XM, so maybe that helps

My choice was based on programming.

has anyone actually tried this with the g37s (with nav) yet?

bfranks

Yep. The OP got it working. Read through the thread....he posted some pics and more details. I also got it working on a G35 with nav, and it's the same setup....just different location for the harness.

I have 08 G37 w/Nav. It works, read the thread.

I just picked up a G37S w/ Nav, and I've looked in the trunk where suggested. I just want to make sure that my car has the extra connector; if somebody who has done this mod could show a picture of the actual connector, it would be greatly appreciated.
