XM Antenna install
Anyone have any pics of how they installed their XM radios in their TJs? My
wife doesn't need her Roady 2 anymore, so I thought I'd put it in my TJ. I have the little magnetic antenna -- thought I'd see where people have mounted them. We used the vent mount in the XJ, but I really don't want to use that in my TJ if I don't have to... Eric 99 TJ SE |
Re: XM Antenna install
I've seen them strapped to the top of the roll bar. Most are low-profile
enough that they don't interfere with the soft top at all. ymmv n.

Re: XM Antenna install
Mount it on top of the center rollbar, underneath the padding. Neither
the hard top nor soft top will impede the signal getting to it. Jerry Eric wrote: > Anyone have any pics of how they installed their XM radios in their TJs?

Re: XM Antenna install
Take out the lil' rubber in the change holder on the top of the dash drill
ur mounting holes and holes for cables...then the channel that runs under the windshield pops out so you can feed ur wires through... it's at eye sight, easier to hear and makes for a clean install....also when it comes time to sell, take the radio out and put the rubber back to cover all the holes and you'd never know it was there...

Re: XM Antenna install
Jeff, I'd think that position would cause lots of signal drop-outs due
to the rollbars or windshield frame getting in the way once in a while as he drives around. Afterall, that satellite signal is strictly line-of-sight as you are well aware. :) Jerry Jeff wrote: > Take out the lil' rubber in the change holder on the top of the dash drill > ur mounting holes and holes for cables...then the channel that runs under > the windshield pops out so you can feed ur wires through... > it's at eye sight, easier to hear and makes for a clean install....also > when it comes time to sell, take the radio out and put the rubber back to > cover all the holes and you'd never know it was there... > Good luck > Jeff > '95 ZJ '03 TJ > VE1WWH (Worlds Worst Ham) > > > -- Jerry Bransford PP-ASEL N6TAY See the Geezer Jeep at http://members.cox.net/jerrypb/ |

Re: XM Antenna install
Set it on the top of the dash board in the little paperclip cup. It should
work fine there. I have mine (in my BMW) stuck with a small dab of SuperGlue to the dash board at the base of the windshield. It works great.

Re: XM Antenna install
Thanks for all the feedback... I like the idea of the antenna under the
rollbar padding. Still don't know what I'm going to do about the Roady2 unit (display unit). I need to find a better way to power it -- I use the cigarette lighter for my cell phone charger AND my CB... already have a 2-way adapter. A 3-way would be too big.
