I have a Alpine HU in my truck that is Sirius ready. It came with an antennae that I have zip tied on my rollbar. The wire goes out the shifter hole in the floor ziptied along the frame until it goes up to wrap around the rollbar.

Someone mentioned about just using a stock antennea on their aftermarket HU and just drilling a hole it the roof... and I was like duh, what a great idea. It would make everything look a lot better.

I have a plug in the roof that has been there forever I assume from a CB antennae.

Are they a one size fits all thing? What do you look for in them?
 
The sat antennas are pretty universal as far as the OEM ones go. It is a 10mm bolt that tightens a clamp to install them.

There isn't much that goes wrong with them visually. Just put a bead of clear silicone on the bottom of it before installing. Otherwise they can leak.
 
Holy crap I butchered satellite in the title...

Anyway, do they just plug in the HU like my aftermarket one?

I was hoping they just stuck on... my hole is too far in the cab to get at with a wrench. Custom w/ a full steel roof...
