Xm Satellite Antenna

Does the Garmin XM satellite antenna fuction as a gain antenna if I don't have a NAV traffic subscription, or would it be pointless to have it? I'm thinking about getting a subscription later on, but right now I just want to boost my signal.

It should act as a gain without Nav.

Installing an XM or SIRIUS satellite radio antenna in a sedan.

I purchased an Xpress XM device, and the instructions are asking for me to hook the XM antenna to the vehicle's FM antenna. I walked around my vehicle and cannot locate the antenna. I looked in the rear and the antenna is not visible. If there is a method to install this device utilizing the AUX, that would be much easier for me, perhaps. I have a Honda Civic DX.

Your antenna is built into the glass of the vehicle. The connection to the FM antenna is in the back of the in-dash radio.

You shouldn't need to worry about the antenna. I believe the Xpress XM device transmits to your radio over a frequency that you select. For instance, you might select 88.1 on your XM device and also on your radio. The device would be heard over your radio by transmitting on that frequency.

I bought my 2006 Monte Carlo used. It never occured to me that GM made all their vehicles XM capable.

In order to activate my XM, do I have to get an antenna put on my car or was that taken care of in the factory.

I can't tell if I have it or not.
Thanks Pancakes I will only get it if they file for bankruptcy protection.

XM capable or XM ready means you need to purchase the reciever and antenna and install it.
You may want to wait until April or May to see if they file bankruptcy first.
