What is the best location and wiring route for a satellite radio antenna
in my '07 Crew Cab Frontier? Has anyone installed one of these? BTW,
there is no apparent way to remove the cargo light assembly and the
manual says to take it to the dealer to do this.

I use one of the Sigma inside the windshield antennas on my '06
Frontier. It works at least as well as the external one I originally
used. See

I did see those after doing some more research. Do you have the shaded
area above the rearview mirror and did you mount it behind that?

Yes, that is exactly where I mounted it. The Sirius in my Frontier (a
Kenwood Unit) does not work quite as well as the OEM Unit in my Ford,
but it is OK. Originally I had a magnetic mount external antenna
mounted on top of the truck. It worked no better than the Sigma, so I
am satisfied with the performance of the Sigma antenna. It looks
"factory" where I have it installed.
