Requesting: Photos of the XM and GPS antenna install

At the risk of being a royal pain do any of you have pictures of the antenna install for both the XM and GPS. I am just nervous at trying the installation and I want to make sure I get it right.

This part is a repost:
I will be installing a Kenwood DDX7019 with an XM receiver along with a Garmin GPS in my 07 screw.
I need to know if there is a better place to put the antenna's other than on the roof. I have heard that they could go inside the cab on the dash by the windshield. How would the reception be?
I am open to suggestions.

I just installed the Kenwood dnx7100. I used the stock antenna thats on my roof for the sirius, so I can't help you their, but with the antenna for the GPS, I actually installed it on the metal bar behind the radio, inside the dash. It actually works great there! You'll see where Im talking about when you pull the radio.

I did as you suggested for the GPS but I put the XM antenna under the the windshield wipers.
Nothing is exposed and it all works great.

Thanks for the reply
