Looking for pics, write-ups, explanation of where/how you guys routed the antenna for a satalite radio. I have a Serius one, w/ the little 1" square magnet tip.
You can't tap in a switch and use the stock antenna/wire, can you? I assume there's something special about this thing that makes it sensitive to teh salatlite signal?
 
antenna placement

When I did mine, ran the wire between the top of the hatch and the top of the hatch opening on the right side and just placed the receiver antenna between the roof rack crossbars. From there I tucked the wire under the plastic panels in the back of the hatch area. I then tucked it between the seat and the side of the side and pulled up the door sills and ran it under all of the interior plastics along the way to the front. I zip tied it to the underside of the dash and then ran it into the center console area. I popped the cupholder end of the console up and ran the wire out through there and then snapped the console plastics back down.

It wasn't the cleanest looking install, but it was good enough for me.
 
i took out the headliner and the stock antenna and ran the wire through the stock hole and ziptied it to the hose for the rear washer fluid and followed it to the front of the car. you wouldnt even know its there... its alotta work, but i was taking the headliner out to dynamat the roof anyway
