Putting it on the inside will be fine just test it....I put an XM satilite in a 18 wheeler and just put the antenna on the dash...Picked up great....The only time he says he has problems is in bigger cities...Then he has to move it up onto the window in the center...

I wouldnt see a massive prob with it..

I wouldn't ever put one of those small antennas on the inside of a vehicle.  The older systems with the bigger antennas seemed to work okay, but the newer ones will see much more signal fade.  If it's your personal vehicle then I say go for it, but don't chance it on a customer's ride.  Also remember with XM you will have less a problem because of the terrestrial repeaters.  Do not put this in the trunk or you won't get reception- the metal surface of the trunk lid will block the signal.  These antennas are magnetic because they are designed to use the vehicle's surface to help boost reception.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.
