Reception is just the same as if installed outside. Really strong!!!
I can see where this might be a problem if you drive under large trees, garage or sky scrapers... but that would be a problem anyway inside or outside.

I don't know about that. I had my sirius antenna inside my 6 and it got lousy reception.. I stuck it on the roof and it greatly improved.
 
In my experiences Satellite antennas work much better when mounted on the outside of the vehicle.

However it may have something to do with location (I am on the West Coast)

I think so... No problems here in the mid-west. A lot of open land here.

yea same here, i put it on the trunk of my car and had the same results as you.
 
Seem like Sirius reception is not as strong as XM???

I never had any probs with XM here. I had the ant inside my last 2 cars as well.
 
I have mine mounted inside the hatch spoiler on the P5. The plastic doesn't seem to effect it at all. Same reception as when it was on the roof.
