Red face Sirius antenna

My car was getting Sirius signal until Xmas. The AM and FM work fine but the Sirius SAT flashes "antenna" Sirius has sent me the signal repeatedly and has told me I need to get a new module put into my car's antenna. Anybody had to do this? How expensive is it? Ballpark. Thanks

I recently had this same issue with my xm signal. I did the reset of the signal and it still would not work. I then order an antenna on line and we are back in business. Here is a link to one of the antennas I purchased.

Ick!!
Is this the little 2" antenna on the middle roof before the rear window?
Mines snapped-off at the base.
We don't do Sat radio, we play CD's or sing to each other......
Should I just glue a black stubby pencil on there to complete the look????
Thanks, RW

The antenna you are speaking of is not for sat radio. However, if gluing a pencil on yours makes you happy, have at it.

The flat pancake like satellite antenna should be less than $20 on Amazon or eBay and fits right underneath the 3rd brake light. Easy, fast and cheap - you get all three...

I have the little round antenna, I think they call it the dot micro, that is sitting in the channel under my front windshield right next to the headlight sensor. Ran the wire below the edge and below the pillar cover. Hardly noticeable.
