Overhead campers and the Sirrius sat antenna on '06's

What have you done? Is there a relocation plug in antenna available?

Interesting topic. I too pondered ordering Sirius but couldn't figure out a way to wire it up so antenna would rest on the camper. Somebody out there's got a fix.

I put my Outfitter pop-up camper on my Megacab and it did not interfere with the reception, granted I have not traveled anywhere with the camper yet just trying the camper on for size.

Thumbs up Update....

Well the reception is lost with the camper on and the stock radio antenna location. But there is a fix. You can purchase a new antenna and unplug the stock antenna at the downlink processor and after routing the new one under the hood and through the firewall plug it in and you are gooood to go . Oh the downlink processor (Sirius Antenna connection) is located by removal of the front passenger door kick panel. Near the front towards the firewall you will find the connector. Start taking it apart at the back and move forward. Comes out pretty easy. This is for the 2006 models. The previous years (2005 and earlier) are located under and behind the back passenger side seat.
