Considering XM radio. I have a Wrangler w/ the dual tops. XM has
this antenna, kinda looks like a half of a pop can, missing half down.
Generally it ends up on the roof or truck of a car. Don't have
either.

Anybody done an instalation?

Yep - two weeks ago. Bought an Alpine unit with XM tuner module. I was
worried since I have a soft top. They used an antennna that was kind of
flat (no more than 1" high) and round. They hid it *inside* the cab,
below the little rubberized tray in the top center of the dash. Reception
is perfect - even in my garage! (Also, no visible XM antennna
"advertisement" to potential stereo thieves!)

Looked up a link to my antenna - I think I've got the one at this page.
Again - it is mounted *inside* the cab, and below the dash - it is not
visible from outside or inside my jeep.

Can't you stick it to the hood, or cowling behind the hood?

HINT
Yes.
