Help - Replace a MACH 460 head unit with OEM SAT-ready non- MACH head unit?

I did not see this covered in past threads but I figured someone out there would be able to guide me in the right direction.

I have a 01 GT conv with a stock Mach 460 system (6 disc in dash). Rather than continue to use an add on sirius radio with FM modulator, I was kicking around utilizing a OEM Sat ready radio I recently swapped out of my Expedition. This way, I add the $50 under dash receiver and antenna and I am able to keep the interior clutter free and stock.

Before I attempt this and start chasing connectors, etc. is there anything with the 460 systems that require a "mach 460" radio? I would assume connectors might prove difficult to chase, but I am not familiar enough with the mach systems to know.

Worse case scenario I'll either E - Bay both my stock radios and I will swap out to a later model Mach 460 sat ready unit, or just break down and get an after market one. Just wanted to see if I can use what I already have.

Unfortunately that's sort of what I figured. I was trying to keep the interior as stock as possible, but since I swapped in an Eclipse AVN unit into my Expedition, I am thinking I will do the same with this car-

Which brings me to this question; where are you sourcing a factory sat tuner and antenna for $50?

E - Bay actually. I picked up the OEM sat ready radio for the truck for $75 about a year ago. I picked up the receiver/antenna kit for $50. Before I installed, I sourced an AVN 5500 radio and sat tuner for $350, which is what is installed in the truck now.

Of couse, I've since sold the OEM equipment about a month ago and looking for another AVN unit to swap into the truck, and will put the 5500 into the car
