Default 665 XM antenna????

I need a better antenna for the XM that is built into the 665 GPS.
I got the service setup and the blue tooth working with my helmet every thing was great until I started riding.
Most of the roads around here are thru the timber and the signal came and went most of the time I had no signal at all.
The one in my truck works fine on the same roads.
Is there a after market antenna that will help with this?
Thanks
Buff

Actually, the 665 antenna and the XM receiver are in the same unit, the hockey puck. The GPS serves only as the graphical user interface. In short, there are no antenna alternatives.
