    Are there two antenna's in this photo. The regular AM/FM antenna (stick) and the satellite antenna (small disk that is circled).

    Is the circled item the satellite antenna or something else??

    Benvolio - the XM antenna is under the center console box and mounts under the drivers seat.

    It seems to work just fine but I thought it had to be mounted on the exterior of the car (to see the satellite) that is why I assume the small item might have been the antenna (I now see it is the rear window washer).

    I'm pretty sure the sat radio antenna is in the base of the radio antenna assembly (also in your pic). The sat radio ECU is under the driver's seat, but I believe the antenna needs to be on the exterior of the car.
