Product Description

From the Manufacturer

For the strongest possible reception of Sirius broadcasts, you can count on the Terk SIR-MINI Sirius Satellite Radio Roof Antenna. It features a single micro-cable which connects to your single-input Sirius tuner. Dual-mode functionality ensures continuous reception by receiving signals from satellites and terrestrial repeaters.

With an extremely low profile (only 0.5-inches tall), the sturdy SIR-MINI antenna mounts to your vehicle's roof with its powerful magnetic base. The included 20.5-feet of micro-coaxial cable can be routed under the rear window molding to the Sirius tuner. This antenna is weather- and vibration-resistant for use in any environment.

What's in the Box
SIR-MINI roof-mount antenna, cable, self-adhesive antenna tail, and installation instructions.

2.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reception, but poor build quality, May 1, 2005

This antenna worked perfectly for me for exactly 30 days. At that point, I kept getting "Antenna Not Detected" messages on every receiver I tried. When I examined the plug that connects to the receiver, I noticed that a tiny cylinder of metal inside the plug had fallen out. It's gone, now, and without that piece to make contact, the antenna is useless.

Be VERY careful when connecting or disconnecting this antenna from a receiver, as this piece is VERY easy to break, and you will be left with a useless piece of equipment.

While it WAS functioning, however, it performed its job quite nicely.

I have the Xact XTR1 Jockey receiver, this vendor does not show the end connector. This is not the standard right angle pin end that fits this model. This has a molex type connector. Just and FYI.

Purchased a total of 20 of these.
I previously sold the American International brand Sirius antenna but there was a temporary shortage in the market.
Four of the twenty Terk brand units were dead on installation. Sadly, I thought Terk was a quality brand. My mistake!
