I wired my cb radio to my cig.lighter extension bar so I can use it with out turning the key on. The red wire is going to the cb.

Would a satellite radio antenna & cb antenna interfere with each other if on the roof together?

it shouldn't. the frequencies they use are very, very far apart, like hundreds of MHz's. i have both of mine within a foot or so of each other.

The Sirius signals are received at 2.315GHz, XM downlinks
at 2.332-2.245GHz, while the CB band runs from 26.965MHz-27.405Mhz.

There is no real threat of interference.

My Sirius antenna (a hard mount through the metal panel robbed
from a 2006 Escape) is mounted about 10" behind my 2meter/440MHz
amateur radio antenna, 2m is 144-148MHz and the 440 Band runs
from 440-449.995MHz.

They don't interfere either...

Though it's possible that if you run a "dirty" CB radio
that the third harmonic from the CB could interfere
with the 75MHz IF frequency internal to the Sattelite receiver.

But I think that's unlikely.
