I have 3 Mobile XM Radios which have the same type antenna plugs as my NUVI 660 has.
Can I use one of those XM "Hocky Puck" antennas on my 660??

No I wouldn't even try that, whilst the connector might fit the aerials will be designed to work on a different frequency 1,5GHz for GPS and 2,3GHz for XM so it simply won't work.
If you do need an external aerial for the GPS (which I very much doubt) they can be purchased for very little outlay - Mike

Thanks, I wanted to confirm what I thought I needed to do.
I just wanted to move my 660 off of the top of the dash to a "LESS Visable" spot and that was/is the reason for an external antenna. I am driving from the East Coast to the West Coast of the USA and really don't need any GPS....................
Just drive West until you come to a lot of water and you are there!!
Thanks Again-JD
