Hi Chuck,
I also didn't want to mount the antenna on the roof. I decided to try a center dash mount (my garmin gps antenna is shown in the pic next to the xm antenna). I ran the wiring from the xm reciever (on lower center console) under the panel under the steering wheel and up to the dash near the driver a piller ( think I had to also remove the panel for the lightswitch and vent), from there I wedged the wiring between the winshield and the leading edge of the dash. Both gps and xm wires are hidding and used sticky back tape to secure the antennas to the dash.
Its been almost 3 months now with a few out of town trips to Austin and Las Vegas and every day communtes to work. It works great and I have no reason to re-locate either. If you drove alot downtown with tall buidings it may not work as well, but even a roof mountwould have issues as well.
