I don't have a pic but I put the antenna on my dash. It doesn't look bad at all.

activation is $5 if you do it online othewise it's $10 more. No contract either. You just pay the service fee whether you want to pay it monthly, quarterly, or yearly.

People who use the FM modulator:
Does it work with a factory diversity antenna connector or I'll be in adapter hell to get it to work on a stock head unit ?

I activated last week after the install and saved $10 on the setup fee. Here is a picture or two of the antenna placement.

I bought a 2002 Ford Focus for my work car since I do a lot of traveling now. Anyway my job pays my payments for it, so I only have to pay the gas. Not too bad. They even pay for my insurance.

Well, the problem I am having is that I hooked up the Sirius Panasonic equipment that I got off the Friends and Family program this afternoon.

I called and activated the service and it worked fine. I turned the car off and came inside and now the display unit keeps saying "aquiring signal." I called Sirius and they said the antenna must be bad -- even though it worked 20 minutes earlier. WTH?

I just turn the unit off and right back on and it fixes that issue

I tried that, but it did not work. I checked all the connections and everything is good to go.

I had some issues like this and had to make certain the antenna was plugged into the right connection and the rest of the system like my Clarion radio was still on and tuned to the right station and not playing a CD at the same time...
'
'I have heard it mentioned from the reseller that if the antenna connections are not specific to your install, you may have the radio fighting for signals.

good luck!
