Fantastic. Thanks
Can u put it on the dashboard ???
VERY well done video. You do an outstanding job of explaining things.
I have a convertible car (Qvale Mangusta) and it is made out of composite
not metal. How would you recommend I mount it to get optimal reception?
Ive put mine in the back window.
I prefer having the car looking good and a radio that loses signal from
time to time.
+ Id be scared for an idiot to rip everything off
Thats screaming “Break into my window and steal me!”
Omg… that’s not a good site for mounting an antenna… that’s not
esthetic at all!!
What silicone do u use to mount the antenna, would normal bath tile
silicone work?
Great video. Very helpful. I was nervous about installing my XM radio
myself but this video gave me the confidence to do it and it turned out
great! Thanks again.
P.S. I used the end of a plastic pen cap to pull back the weather stripping
around my windshield…lol. It did the trick.
Do you need to do this if your vehicle has a factory radio with sirius/xm
already? I want to install a new radio with sirius, and ditch the factory
radio.
How does this hold up to weather? I live in open country, in arizona where
dust, mud, rain and many other x-factors. I’ve been wanting to install this
type on my vehicle(which duel purpose off road/highway) for awhile
very helpful video…thanks!!
We use either a Canon 5D or 7D, and sometimes even a 60D. However, the
quality is all in the lens, so make sure you get a quality pro lens if you
want great video. 🙂
It all depends on the vehicle. Some vehicles have absolutely no issues with
the antenna being mounted in that way, some may experience reception
issues. You just have to try different locations and look for the best one.
Cool video. Yesterday I was wondering if one could mount the satellite
antenna like you did with the GPS antenna in yesterdays video but it looks
like that might not be the best way for optimum reception.
The labor depends on the unit you buy, the car you have, and the shop you
take it to get installed. The unit prices are also different.
How much are these and how much is the labor total
You will have to pull the dash open to find out. However, because the radio
is so low in the dash, it is unlikely the antenna can fit there and get
good reception.
Hello, Thank`s for replying back to me and thank`s for the advice. I`m not
sure if you`ve had experience with my car but, I have a 2004 Mustang GT
coupe and it would be nice if the antenna could be hidden because my car is
white. Hope to hear from you soon.
You should spray it with a protectant such as Plasti-Dip to seal it up and
get you better weather protection. It will last you a while, but to be
extra safe spray it. The great thing about plasti-dip is you can paint it
and peel the paint right off if it becomes damaged and spray again. It is
essentially a rubber spray, very cool stuff.
IM GONNA TUCK IT!!!!! HAHAA
What camera do you guys use, the quality is great!
