Ya a couple, BCarms has one, and Slab did! He and I used to work in the same install bay! Very easy to put in! and FYI two good places to put the antenna,
1. on the hood or
2. one the rear body rail.

on the hood can have problems due to the amount of windshield still above it...best place is on top of the sound bar if it is a low profile one. ill be getting it when i get my dvd/screen as well...too bad it won't be before paragon...o well laptop on the dash/passenger's lap it will have to be again ;D

I have XM Radio and my antenna is mounted on my hood and I have had no problems at all. It's great for those long trips and on the trail.

I put the receiver in the center console where the subwoofer  used to be. The antenna is on the roll bar in front of the soundbar. It sounds great but it has gone out a few times under some trees and bridges. Anyone else experience this? Anyone want a center console subwoofer from an 01 TJ? |

You can listen to the same station all over the contry as long as you don't go under a tree, or bridge, or go to the mountains, or the city or park next to a tall building. etc... Not a fan of paying for something when it is legal to have it for free! |

do it on the hood... I have done a ton of these in various cars, and a few wranglers.
you will not get good reception on the roll bar, you need a good ground plane for the antenna to work properly. put it near your footman loop on your hood, and run the antenna wire through the grommit high on the drivers' side firewall. This is the best location for a jeep that you plan on removing the top!

This is the best location for a jeep that you plan on removing the top! I was thinking of doing that. The rool bar setup is stealth but it doesnt follow the manufacturers directions. It seems about 50/50 on other forums for antenna placement. I will take your advice, Thanks! |

I have the satellite radio, the rear body rail works well but sometimes when the top is down and someone is in the back they can block it or move it by resting on it. I think it beats the hood though. NFL with sirius we wont miss any games on Sunday!
