xDrtyPopX Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Does anyone know of a combo antenna that will work for both the D3 NAV and XM w or w/o traffic. I am putting this in a sedan and would like to have the antennas on the roof but preferably one antenna. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 After a bit of searching, I've come to the conclusion that the only multi-band (XM & GPS) antennas available are made for marine/aeronautical applications, and are rather large and unsightly. FYI, you can mount the D3's GPS antenna inside the car, like up on the front of the dash or behind the rear view mirror, or even INSIDE the dashboard (if you do a search here you'll see what I mean), and still retain full function. That way, you only have the XM antenna to mount on the exterior. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xDrtyPopX Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Thanks. I saw those....pretty cool idea but not gonna fly on a sedan!! My other thought was getting an antenna cover painted to match the factory paint. I had an Accord that had one on the roof and I know a lot of BMW's do as well. Anythoughts on where I could find something like that generic or otherwise (07 Camry). I can't come up with anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HiFiSi Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Can't you just paint the actual antenna housing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xDrtyPopX Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 not a bad idea. just looking for something more factory to deter attention. Also, being stuborn about putting both on the roof. My wife's SUV gets a better signal than my buddies who put his in the Dash... Lame i know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
