Sirius antenna inside the car

Sirius antenna inside the car
Has anyone tried mounting their sirius antenna in the back window? I know they strongly reccommned doing it but the thing is ugly and a theft magnet. I'm just wondering if it works well or not, I know people who have mounted their XM antennas in the rear window and work fine...

Mine worked great on the rear deck going down the interstate but I drive on too many windy, tree covered roads on the sides of hills where I kept losing reception. My window tint MAY have had something to do with this too but it is 3M so it shouldn't have any metal pigments in it. I eventually bought the Terk antenna and put it on the top of the car. I would let you know how much reception improved but I accidently ripped some wires off of my AUX adapter and my FM modulator worked for 5 min and died. Someday I will get it working again but for now I am back to FM.

I'll let you know if my car gets jacked for the sirius antenna.

It's not the @#$%*&@ antenna I'm worried about, or the POS Sirius radio I got for free, Its the amps, subs, decks, components, busted windows, busted dash, and broken locks I'm concerned with. I want to be as stealth as possible. My car has been broken into 7 times in 3 years. They won't want the Sirius radio it's like stealing a cell phone, they want the other stuff, and when they see that big *** antenna on your car they might want to stop and take a look inside to see what else you have. Then they steal your expensive **** and bust up your car. That's what I'm worried about. I live in a city full of tweakers and crack fiends, it's not the projects but it's full of thieves, it aint the suburbs either. They don't give a **** they'll steal anything so I don't want to draw any more attention to myself then I have to. Living in the hood like you say you do you should know that.
By the way I put it in the back window and it does seem to cut out a bit and there seems to be some static (might be caused by the rear window defrost).

Who want's to mess up their paint job or feed it through the back window molding in their car. I have an XM antenna that works good in the rear deck. They have glass mount antennas but the rear window doesn't have much glass that doesn't have wires or tint in it. I wouldn't have XM radio if it meant having an outside antenna.
