The XM receiver box attaches to the bracket which holds the amp in the RF system. This bracket is located near the firewall just above the brake pedal.
The Nissan XM receiver uses a two lead antenna. The Nissan antenna mounts on the rear window and connects "through-the-glass". Some report that this antenna is not very effective and is prone to signal drop-out. There are other antenna which can be purchased that mount magnetically to the outside of the vehicle, however most of the new ones are single-lead. To use one of these with the Nissan XM receiver a single-lead to two-lead adapter is required (a two-lead receiver will not work with only one lead connected). Most places which sell XM receivers also sell stand-alone antennas. Crutchfields is one such source, but there are others.
