Satellite Radio

[eminart]

For those of you that have satellite radio, where did you put your antenna and how did you route it? I just bought an '01 supercab and I need to hook up my reciever. I'd like to put my antenna in front of the brake light on the cab, but I can't see a good way of getting it there. I don't want the wire hanging loose.


EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out. Out through the brakelight.

Care to show us how you did it? How did you keep the brakelight from leaking? I need to run mine (it's just sitting on the dash).

I ran mine through the trim peices, completly hidden and out of the way to the rear slider window. Out the window and mounted on the top of the cab.

Well, it's 3am so I can't take any pics, but it's pretty simple. I just removed the light and cut a very small groove out of the plastic edge of it. Make sure not to cut the gasket underneath. Cut it just deep enough for the antenna wire to fit. When I screwed the light back down it looked like it had a good seal, but I put just a tiny bit of silocon around the sides of the wire just to make sure.

There's a hole behind the light that goes straight into your headliner. I just routed the wire along the edge of it and around the door to the dash. Pretty simple.
