Hey guys, got my dad the sirius controller for his pioneer headunit and was wondering where you guys put the external antenna. The instructions say that it should be on a 12x12x6" metal surface away from the windows but our roofs of the 951 have no such area? Does it need to be metal? Or can i just mount it behind the sunroof in front of the rear brake light.
Any thoughts?

I mounted mine on the driver's side (far left looking from rear) behind the sunroof/right in front of hatch glass and I've had no problems. I then ran the wire parallel to the rear brake light wire. It's worked great.

i ran mine up the a-pillar, over the door under the headliner pieces, out the back of the headliner and under the rubber trim- mounted it in front of the hatch where a 968 antenna would go- well i guess next to the 968 antenna.

I cheated and broke the rules. Placed mine on the dash. Far corner on the pass. side. Works just fine. You'll love Sirius. I've got it in all 3 of our vehicles and listen online too!
