We must have posted at the same time. I didn't see yours. But thats what I was talking about.

You can see some other pics of the antenna in a cabin filter how-to I posted here -> How To - Cabin Air Filter Replacement

The factory XM antenna uses the old style antenna with two connections and uses the square type connectors. Don't know if there is a different antenna for Sirius.
