On every ECamper, the rear roof mounted AM/FM antenna is relocated during conversion
For only the 2005 to 2011 Honda Element EX trim models, Honda included the hardware for Sirius/XM satellite radio.
This is a subscription based system, and requires an active account at Sirius with monthly or annual payments to keep it functional.
It is turned on using a button on the OEM head mounted radio.
The roof mounted antenna is used for AM/FM and the base includes a satellite reciever for Sirius/XM Satellite radio within the assembly.
For the 2005 to 2011 EX vehicles the factory Sirius/XM satellite antenna must be relocated to ensure good reception for the Sirius/XM radio.
Does relocation have to be done?
No, the Sirius/XM antenna does not need relocation if:
you no longer subscribe to Sirius/XM service
you have replaced the original factory radio with an aftermarket head unit, even if that new system has Sirius/XM. Newer systems come with a new separate antenna
you have broken the housing or antenna off. We remove this part during conversion (the charge is for mounting a new one in an alternate location)
The Sirius/XM antenna must be relocated if
you have a paid, active subscription to Sirius/XM radio
