Our take on the American International XM-2SAA

American International's XM-2SAA XM antenna may be tiny, but it gives you all the performance you need. It attaches to your vehicle's roof with its powerful magnetic base, and its 19.75' micro-coaxial cable will connect to any single-input XM tuner (micro-cables are usually routed under molding of rear window to the XM tuner). You can also connect this antenna to a dual-input XM receiver, using an optional signal splitter.

Important Note: You must subscribe to XM Satellite Radio to receive the satellite radio signal.

Features

Overview: The American International compact XM-2SAA roof-mount satellite radio antenna is a low-profile, high-performance antenna designed specifically for XM Satellite Radio reception. The XM-2SAA has a powerful magnetic base that allows you to mount the antenna on the roof or trunk lid of your vehicle.

Note: Because the antenna uses a single antenna connection, a splitter is required when connecting it to a system that has two antenna connections.

System Requirements: In addition to the XM-2SAA satellite radio antenna, it is necessary to have an XM Satellite Radio receiver and a subscription to XM Satellite Radio in order to receive XM Radio programming.

Installation Note: In installations where the component's antenna connector is inset, the FAKRA housing from the XM-2SAA must be removed. In this situation, the housing must be cut and it cannot be reinstalled.

American International XM-2SAA

Written By Yonnie, Lynchburg VA on Thursday, July 14, 2005
 
I bought this antenna to replace the piece of junk Delphi supplied with my original purchase. In order to make it fit the roadie you have to take off a plastic cap, which is almost impossible. What remains is a bare wire attached to a tiny metal cap that loosely fits the roadie, and falls out easily. Within a few weeks this antenna failed.
To Crutchfield's credit...they immediately replaced it with a new antenna, for which I am grateful. However...same problem...first you have to figure out how to take off the plastic cap (not at all easy like the picture would have you believe), then you are left with a fragile wire, which almost immediately quit working, even though I handled it very delicately. Now I don't dare change the station on my XM, because if I touch the wires.....connection fails. I don't believe there is any adequate replacement antenna available for the Roadie.
