    OK Mark. I want to add XM radio to my 2014 Police Explorer. Will the rear radio antenna have a self-contained XM antenna in the antenna block? I see the basic antenna has 2 coax connectors. I assume is for XM radio and the other is for the Car radio. That is the other cable used for? Is there DC power going to the antenna? What is the need for the other black cable? Also, would the police vehicles have the cable to the XM radio? Seems they could same money by just purchasing one standard cable from the vender and wiring all Explorers the same with the same cables. I have not removed my headliner yet to see what is up there.

    Looks pretty easy, one thing my wife had a freak thing happen, while backing out of garage the door came down and not only crack the antenna but the roof has a little dent that looks like it can be popped out. Right now the old antenna is not sitting flush. I would like to do it because letting a body shop do it would cost a small fortune. Any ideas.

My antenna isn't broken physically that I know of I'm having issues with static so much static a channel will be clear as day drive a little down the road boom static. sometimes its light static sometimes you cant hear nothing but static. mostly all channels are static.. I don't wanna buy a brand new antenna if that's not the issue. I don't know if these need recalibrated or maybe its something else wrong with maybe a loose wire or somethin please help the static is driving me crazy.. Also mine is an 08 Pontiac Torrent GXP 3.6L V6

    • @AlexeiTetenov
      @AlexeiTetenov 5 лет назад +1

      try flexing the rubber mast. My rubber antenna seems to be mostly broken through near where it screws into the base, but you wouldn't be able to tell by just looking at it.
      If the static seems to be worse when going over bumps, then something is partially broken but not broken all the way through.
      If that doesn't work, try unplugging all parts of the antenna system and then plugging it back in. One or more pieces might be broken, and you might be able to detect a difference by manipulating the pieces.
