I have a portable XM unit. I am swapping it out between 4 different cars on a regular basis. I just throw the antenna up on the dash right against the window and I never have had a problem in any of the vehicles.

I have left the antenna in the console in my Dodge as a trial once and it would start to fade some then.

Thanks again.....Steve

I ran my antenna wire through the door seal and it leaked when I went through the car wash. I wanted to take mine from truck to truck, but I finally got sick of pullin the antenna off the roof every time it rained so I routed my wire permanantly through the back sliding window by going under the kick plate on the floor. It hasn't leaked since. I would recommend permanently mounting this one and buying another antenna.
