I think I wasted my XM antenna. Anyone know who makes a good replacement setup?

You can get micro or mini antennas on eBay pretty inexpensively. Terk is pretty much the biggest aftermarket unit, but they're all 'bout the same. If you get a small one you can mount it inside the rear spoiler which works really nice. Did that on my IronMan but haven't got the "how-to" up on my site yet, but can email directions if you're interested.

I was hoping to find a through the glass type, but hidden in the wing would be nice too. I hate seeing cords and stuff. it looks so Mickey Mouse. Sure if you don't mind posting the pics I'd like to see it.

I trashed my XM antenna days before my 1800 mile trip to Moab. I could not find anyone selling just the antenna and left for Moab without one. Less than 100 miles into trip I stopped at a T/A truck stop and found the Trek unit ($30). The connection had a plastic guard that I had to remove (destroy) to make it work.
