Got the XM radio, it rocks!

just installed the new XM radio in my car and it is pretty hot. I found out a way to avoid mounting that ugly computer mouse type antenna and mounted it on the rear deck inside the window. and with my 15% tint, u cant really see it. over all the radio quality is tight with 100 channels. would definately recommend it!
