What ever became of this idea? Has anyone actually installed one?
I want to add a roof antenna and really like the looks of this fin design. Any updates, tips, tricks, or pictures would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Same here!...and I will eat my words on the RICER look for the shark fin. I am actively looking for one at this moment.
As I had posted in another tjhread regarding center console reconfiguring. I need Sirius/GPS/FM. This is what I have found so far.
TRIPLEX
Item no.:GA-GS-206
Frequency: GPS 1,575MHz+/-3MHz
Band width: +/-5MHz
Impedance: 50Ω
SWIR: 1.5:1
Gain: >3dB
Cable: RG174
Frequency: GSM 890-960MHz, 1,710-1,990MHz
Impedance: 50Ω
SWIR: <2
Gain: 2.15dB
Cable: RG174
Frequency: 76-110MHz (FM), 525-1,700MHz (AM)
Gain: +20dB (FM), +5dB (AM)
Impedance: 75Ω
Cable: 3C-2V
Voltage: 10-14V
Cable length: 8''
Dia. of installation hole: diameter 15mm
All I could find for this one was - Car antenna can receive radio FM/AM/XM, GPS, and GSM
If anyone can follow these leads, let me know! I am actively looking and will post in OT as well. I will report back with info I find.

The XM part of the equation just got easier, Sirius and XM are merging.

Subject: Fin Antenna Question
In the FAQ section it’s mentioned that this antenna is going to be satellite compatible. Has the design progressed to the point where it will receive AM/FM and satellite signals with reasonably good reception?

This is where Rod sourced his:

Sounds like that SAT version has been due any time for almost a year now.
