I love the head unit. Fits right in with the interior. As far as the antenna.....no problems with it yet. It gets a good look at the sky with no reception issues. As with any XM receiver you might get the occasional searching for signal/no signal message, but that is only for a few seconds. I don't know what will happen if I decide to tint the windows. Other people have done that, with other cars, and mounted the antenna inside with no issues. I guess I'lll cross that bridge later.
