For the Sirius antenna, in the two cars I've installed one in (not the FRS), I've just run them up to either the driver or passenger's side front corner of the windshield down on top of the dash. It picks up satellites there fine, and if the dash is black just disappears. Of course, YMMV depending on where you commonly drive in relationship to the satellite location in your sky.
I've also done the same with the GPS antenna, since its about the same size (1 inch square). In MomHawk's Mustang the Cirius antenna is on the driver side, and the GPS is on the passenger.

I...actually did
not notice this when I was digging in there while installing the radio, thank you for pointing this out. I had assumed that both FM/nav were in the sharkfin, it's good to know that it's easily accessible and I'm just not observant enough. Gonna have to get this apart when I get home tonight. Appreciate the input, especially on the Sirius suggestion!
