installing antennae for satellite in a van

[chicklet]

My husband just got satellite radio from our kids but is wondering how to install or place the antennae in his odyssey van. they will install it for $$ at future shop where the kids got it but what do most people do?

The wire for the antenna is tough. You can route it through a door and it won't get cut. My question is, "what is he wanting?" Your question is vague. The antenna just has to be exposed to the sky. Some just lay the antenna on the dash of their vehicle but you will might get some dropouts that way.

I'd hope to put the antennae on the roof. I don't know if it should be front or back where i can run the wire through the tailgate or from a side window? I know that after that i have to run wires through the vehicle.

Find a car or audio forum such as TUG and go ask the question there.

You will find lots of free advice just like you do on TUG and it will be very specific and helpful, from car or auto guru's.

For example, I belong to a Lincoln forum, they have an audio thread for those who wish to update/install etc in their Lincoln. I bet there is a Honda or Odyssey forum.

Good luck

It can be anywhere on the roof. Check out www.digitalradiocentral.com for their install forum.

Good luck
