XM car antenna

I'm looking into upgrading my car stereo head unit to the Alpine with the nice iPod integration. At the same time I'd like to look into getting XM also. Apparently this head unit will process the XM signal and display everything on the screen, but I've been told that it still needs an antenna. I'd like to get one that is as small as possible. If I could get one that doesn't have to go on the roof that would be even better. Does anyone have any recommendations for XM antennas that can be installed in a stealthy way? My car is a 99 Mustang GT coupe.
 
Mounting on the interior glass could be an option. The 12" antenna is still a little big. I wonder if that exterior magnetic one would get reasonable reception just sitting on the rear ledge behind the seats.


EDIT:

I did some more research on my own. I finally found this page. The 3rd picture is exactly what I'm looking for. Just a little box inside the back window, no stupid crap on the roof.
