Most 2006 Cadillacs include the acclaimed XM Satellite Radio service (NASDAQ:XMSR) as standard equipment (not including subscription fees). The rapid expansion of satellite radio has made the plastic roof antennae a fixture on top of millions of vehicles on U.S. roads today. Cadillac is changing that with the industry-first “stealth” antennae for XM Radio on the XLR. The tiny antennae are cleverly concealed within the outside rear view mirrors, an industry-first. XLR includes a network of more than one dozen antennae throughout the car, all concealed under its striking exterior. These antennae power features such as the car’s AM/FM/XM radio, OnStar communication, GPS-powered navigation system, Keyless Access system for entry and exit, push-button start and tire pressure monitoring.

Two XM antennas on the mirrors, I don't know about that, sounds like you'd get more signal dropouts than you normally do with the brick antenna. It'd make more sense if it was hidden somewhere in the roof, of course it'd have to be plastic not metal. I'd be interested to see how this technology works, and if it can be adapted to aftermarket tuners. I get a lot of questions asking if there is technology out there that allows you to use more than one antenna for improved reception.
