XM antenna routing
On our car, we don't have any visible rubber strips on the windshield like on domestic cars, so I'm having a bear of a time of finding a routing for an XM antenna. I was thinking maybe running the cable from my center console to the trunk, and then the antenna just clings onto the trunk lid. Good idea?

I put mine on the rear deck and routed the antenna wire along the passenger side trim molding all the way to the ft passenger foot well, then I routed the cable under the dash trim (below the glovebox) and pushed it through the center consule (I pulled out the trim around the ashtray/shifter/cup holder).
i don't have any reception issue with in on the rear deck.
Sorry, I have a GS, but I think it very similar to your LS.

Hmm... I can get the antenna down. Now, I have the Delphi Roady2, and I just need to figure out about powering the damn thing, i want to tap into the car phone plugs in the center console. And also, I want to side mount the Roady in way so I can have a iPod right next to it.

another idea I have is to hollow out the ashtray after taking out the coin tray, but I need to find a cheap ashtray to sacrifice to the name of science. I slipped the width of the Roady in, and it seems like it can squeeze in with modifications to the inner workings.
