Sirius antenna

[MRX330]

I’m removing the ugly black box from my roof. I do not listen to the radio nor Sirius for a long time. Just a heads up, the Sirius antenna transmits your location even if your subscription has run out.

So what, if you have a cell phone, they know where you are anyway.

No radio? Music is life. No music= hell.

I didn’t say no music

Ford can see your car. Miss some payments and the repo man knows where it is. Collecting data? Who knows but the antenna looks terrible anyway. Bye bye

You can replace it with a fin antenna.

How does a receiver transmit a location?

The same way your cell phone does to lock on site.

A mobile phone can broadcast via data or wifi connections. How does a radio receiver perform that action?

As stated, it works like your phone or like LoJack.
The Sirius radio does transmit location info. even if not activated.
This info. could be used for stolen car location however you would need the radio serial number and Sirius would have to track it.

You can look it up on the infoweb.

How are you filling the hole in the roof?

 

[MRX330]

For now a plug with some sealant like the license plate plugs. I have some scratches on the roof so eventually I’ll have someone fix all that and the hole

 

[DangerMouse]

Is it just a round hole under the antenna base? I've never looked.

I believe so from what I’ve read. A nut and bolt secures the antenna so I’m sure it’s puny

You have to take off the dome light and pull down the headliner to get at it

Its a square hole. Had mine off a couple times. Does your car have nav?if so id willingly take your active antenna. Still trying to fix my nav. Lol.

No nav no sunroof

Dang... Oh well. To unplug it youre going to have to pull the rear c pillar trims, back door mouldings across the top ( rubber ones) and drop the rear section headliner carefully so you dont kink it.
