The antenna is a big ugly thing that goes on the inside passenger side
corner of the windsheild
The sirius tuner itself sits on a little shelf under the radio behind the
HVAC controls. I know this all because I removed it when swapping my alpine
in and removing my 07 HU.

It's not very big. I never notice it unless I look at it and when I
consider the alternative is something attached to the roof I smile.

But an antenna on the roof will probably work better in marginal
situations, like on a strret wit a tree canopy.

Verified.. My aftermarket Sirius head unit came with two antennas, on
little one to sit up on the dashboard and the "roof zit". The little one
was about worthless on tree-lined streets. I now have the roof zit
mounted and ya know... it doesn't look all that bad.

This was a Kenwood HU, but the antenna came in a Sirius bag. It's about
3" in diameter and about a half-inch thick in the middle. It fir between
the sunroof and the windshield just fine, the little rubber channel
brings the coax down to the windshield gasket and the wire routes thru
the flap of the gasket down to the fender/door gap where it snakes into
the interior.

Perhaps. Not an issue in North L.A. County.
