KingRanch,

That is the best looking antenna that I have seen yet. Does it just stick to the roof magnetically or how does it mount?

I might be wrong here but, I'm not sure of any of the XM automobile antennas that require drilling.

Mine sticks on with adhesive...

I definately like yours better though...

delphi question

Just a quick question, I am looking at putting a Delphi XM radio in my 2002 supercrew, I have the stock cd unit, does the stock unit have the appropriate plug-ins for the delphi unit, so that I don't have to use the FM modulator.

Roger

Aren't you guys worried about the wire going through the weatherstripping causing leaks, especially if you ever have to remove it?

Roger, I might be wrong but, I think it requires a modulator. Sorry we didn't get back with you sooner...

Personally, I'm not worried about it. I took extra care to ensure that I had some butyl sealant around where the wire cover goes to the edge of the weatherstrip. The only thing that actually goes behind the weatherstrip is the two TINY wires that are associated with the XM antenna. They're VERY small guage and I seriously doubt I'll ever have a problem in that area. *knock on wood*
