I used the Maximus-3 mounts for my Rhino Rack. They came with an XM/GPS antenna relocation bracket that moves the antenna from the speaker bar to above the driver sun visor. XM and GPS have been working well. I will occasionally get an XM drop-out if I'm in heavy trees or vertical terrain.

You 100% need to relocate the antenna if you haven’t already.
The trim removal required to do the Maximus 3 relocation solution is… a lot.
A very simple solution is to put it under your windshield cowl and run the wire behind your glove box.

EDIT -> here’s a link for a better idea of what I’m talking about. @blnewt can back me up on this.

I did the exact same thing. Works like a charm

Same here, the relocation kit works perfect and super easy to install
