The Delphi unit's antenna will fit above my overhead console with the
plastic case removed. There are other antennas that will also fit here. I tested
it
and it receives just fine through the skin. Terk also makes some nice
XM/Sirrus antennas. I've installed it in my Citabria a while back and it is
great!
I
run it through my Flightcom intercom. Watch out, though, the older XM units use
a two lead antenna. The newer ones use a single lead antenna. The two lead
antennas are getting scarce.
