Plug and play antenna for GPS and Sirius

[TJJEEPER]

I just put a camper on the truck and although the GPs is working the bars for signal strength are red. The Sirius is hit or miss depending on direction of travel.

Does anyone make a plug and play fix for this?

TIA

Also send TDR member Boomer II a PM. IIRC, I think he and TDR writer Andy Redmond figured out an easy way. I thought Andy was planning to write an article for the magazine explaining how to move the antenna, but I haven't seen anything yet.

Unlikely if you want it to work with Sirius XM. You need an antenna that specifically says it does. Same with GPS.

Satellites are like engines. Piston for Cummins not same as Briggs even though both are engines.

My concern was if the connectors are the same as the ones on the jumper wire on the truck.

It doesn't matter about the connectors if the antenna isn't right for the service you want to receive.
