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!

It works great but I had to modify the connection to fit my model eventhough the description said it was for that model.

Antenna was a good replacement for my stock SIRIUS that went bad after a few months. Almost identical except for a plastic adapter on the plug that I had to remove.

Great satellite antenna. I haven't had any problems with it so far with the exception of the little rectangular plastic connector that comes attached to the connector. You can just pop the purple tab off and the plastic part comes right off. Be careful not to damage the connector in the process!

well I had to change my 1st generation anteena it died. so they left me no choice but to use these type. Not too impressed I have more drop/lost singals I needed a bigger antenna. I guess bigger is better.

Works great.

Had to remove the brown plastic fitting from the antenna wire that encased the actual metal connector to the cradle.

Other reviews pointed this out so it wasn't a big deal, just had to be done carefully.

The first one I received was defective. The second one worked fine. I've seen others complain of poor quality.

What is with the plastic light brown holder over the plug ?????????. Why does everyone have to cut it off?????????. Other then that looks, and works, just like the one that came with the Starmate unit. I am using this one for my other car. Again, Yes you have to cut the Light Brown holder at the end near the plug off in order for it to work on the Starmate. Why WHO KNOWS, just cut carefully and enjoy.
