Exclamation WTF Sat Radio Antenna Install

So one of my co-workers at my weekday job is telling me that his Sirius was cutting out occasionally. I go look at his new Jetta and the installer simply jammed the antenna on the dash at the front middle of the windshield

Now, he did tell me where he got it installed and I was pretty surprised. Anyway - is this standard procedure in some shops now. If so, I call

Exactly!!! you get what you pay for.

Regular bunch of comedians in here

Claudio - he's only been with our company for a few months and had no idea I worked at FS. I guess the Sat Radio was a promotion that came along with his Jetta - free unit and service but no install. He paid $75 for the 'service'.

The unit was installed by a car audio installer. I am refraining from calling them a 'professional'.

We only use one chargeout rate for sat installs and it includes hardwired power and roof/truk/cowl antenna mounting. ie. a proper installation. I mean really, how ****ing hard is it??
