Satellite radio in a convertible? Antenna options?

Question

I've been considering investing in Sirius satellite radio for my car, however after researching it seems that there is an external antenna that needs to be mounted on the exterior of the car.

Most documentation I've read recommends mounting this magnetic antenna on the roof of the car, but I have a convertible, and to be completely honest I don't really want an unsightly piece of hardware outside my car.

Is there another option other than this external antenna? Perhaps something that will connect to (or replace) my existing AM/FM radio antenna?

Answer 1

yes just put it on the dash

Answer 2

There's no way to prevent the use of the Sirius antenna that comes included. There are ways to improve reception which involves using an FM direct adapter, but again, you still need to use the included Sirius antenna. The Sirius needs a clear view of the sky. If having it outside the vehicle isn't an option because it's a convertible, and having it inside isn't an option because of the appearance then I think you may be out of luck.
