What type of remote temperary XM satellite radio antenna can you get
for a 2006 chevy.? The stock antenna is not good with the truck camper on.

Go to best buy and get a Terk (make sure it is a Terk; the XM one has a connector that doesn't easily fit the XM receiver) replacement XM micro antenna. It should have a pink adapter on the plug end that you will have to remove. It will then plug in directly where the factory one (yellow connector) does.

Stick it to the front of your hood and route the wire to the XM box behind the glove compartment.

I have used this setup since my 2000 and found it actually works better than the factory one, so I never reconnected it even when the camper was off the truck.
