Satellite Radio install for our C, a few questions...
With a 2 month + trip coming up I would like to add Satellite Radio to our 24' C. I am planning on installing a Sirius/XM unit that will play through our existing automotive stereo by plugging into the auxiliary jack. It will be powered using a simple cigarette lighter outlet (we have three available on the dash), and the install seems straightforward enough but....
What about the antenna? They say it should be up high, as in on the roof with a clear view of the sky. The standard antenna comes with 23' of very small wire and I cannot imagine that being enough to get from the roof down through the coach and to the display unit on the dash. Most manufacturers insist that a GPS also have a clear view of the sky but our Rand McNally (7720 LM - a great unit by the way), works just fine sitting on the dash under the cabover overhang. :h
Has anyone out there installed Satellite Radio in your C and if so how did you deal with the antenna? How well does it work, are dropped stations an issue? Any and all advice is most welcome.
