I have Sirius, but installed it myself in my 02 wagon, similar situation to yours with magnetic mount antenna.
You will get the best reception if you roof mount the antenna, particularly if you are in the upper states.
I mounted the antenna mid way between my onstar antenna and roof rack on drivers side.
Removed the plastic cowling at the top, lifted the weatherstripping and filed small channel in the U section with a rat tail file. (Don't forget to seal the raw edges of the channel - used clear nail polish lacquer).
Once you have antenna wire inside, just run it along the roof and tuck away out of sight, run down drivers side pillar and through dash to radio.
Out of sight, neat, and excellent unobstructed reception.
Enjoy your sounds.
