XM Radio / NAV Antenna Question
Hi I have a Chevy, 2019 3500HD DRW Crew Cab and have been looking at the Lance 975 TC. For anyone with a similar setup does cabover section of the TC interfere with the reception of the SAT antenna? ...

I cannot help you with your Chevy. I can tell you what worked with my 2018 Ram. I needed a new shark fin antenna in a better location. I could only find the antenna and appropriate wiring harness through the dealer. I did find the wiring specifics online. I had to remove the cover on the passenger side front window pillar to plug in the new wiring. I made a magnetic base that would work for attaching the new antenna to the hood. Before replacing the antenna, I had about 70% function. Afterwards that went to over 90%. I still lose signal in some locations when the truck is pointed exactly north.
Our 2013 has the same issue. I googled and found the part numbers and purchased the shark fin and wiring extension. Now my question is where do you run the wiring through the firewall?
Thanks,
The factory wire is relatively short but works perfectly the way I snaked the wire into the passenger door jam and up through to the engine compartment and then to the hood location. The hood location is just a few inches forward of the back of the hood on the passenger side.
