From the outside you would see and it is stays there... That little black thing pops out and holds the antenna there perfectly. Dont know if it would be the same as a 2g though, just how mine is done. *edit* Omg I just realized that this thread is like a month old. Sorry guys*

Its supposed to be mounted on the roof, or to the top of the trunk/hatch. Depending on coverage in your area having it on the dash could be ok. I have a buddy at work that just throws his in the cup holder and it works.
I have mine mounted to the roof of my winter beater and I have excellent reception most of the time.
On my talon I'm going to mount it under my spoiler or where my wiper sprayer mounts.
If you had a sirius radio it would have to be mounted to the roof or flat of the trunk/hatch to be able to function.
EDIT: You can also get a small pad of metal with two way tape on the bottom of it. I'm not sure where you get them, as the ones I have come from Pioneer Navi unit. Try it and see if it works...

I'm currently testing mine just under the hatch where the hinges are. So far I'm pretty satisfied with it. I'll give it a few more days before I had the wires.

I have Sirius in mine (over a year now) and it works excellent, only cuts out occasionly on bridges. P.S. Do NOT run the antenna out the hatch over the hatch seal. I did this and got uber leakage into my hatch. That is the main reason I keep it inside; the other being that these antennas are notorious for dying due to moisutre build up. I have gone through 2 already, the other two being of a diffent design (no tail). Since I no longer get free ones from warranty I try to play it safe.
