Installing XM sat antenae?

What's the best way to install a XM satellite antenae and best location?
I want it to look neat, and not be run out a window. Anyone got pics on their install (step by step?)
thanks

I ran mine up the passenger pillar, above the headliner and out the 3rd brakelight. Both the XM and GPS antenna are ran that way.

I ran mine out the bottom of the cargo/brake light cover and mounted it right on top of the cab. I ran the wire down the plastic side piece and along the bottom of the right side, up the kick panel and across. It took 30 minutes maybe. Sorry, but my pics were taken late in the evening.

Mine is sitting on the dash at the base of the windshield. Neat and tidy and the dash mat covers it.

I put mine on the dash. No holes to drill, wires easily concealed and great reception.

mine was on the dash for a while but got tired of seeing it and reception wasn't as good as outside.
