[s-cars] Permanent install of satellite radio antenna

[Steve Powers]

Does the current antenna only service the cellphone or does it also do
AM/FM? I ask because it seems to matter little if the whip is in or
out (removed after carwashes). There's already a hole in the roof for
it. It may be just a matter of repurposing it for better use.

An alternative would be to source a multifrequency antenna from
another car and mount it in the same place.

(seems like anything I look at these days requires some sort of
radio/antenna: XM, GPS, 802.11g, APRS, 5GHz cordless phones)
