I'm replacing my Shaker 500, unit including the Sirius radio portion, with an aftermarket unit. But I want to use the built in sat antenna that is on the trunk. I don't want to use the magnetic one that comes with the new radio. Does anyone know if this is possible? Any ideas?

Thanks

I realize it's been a few months since you posted, but I just did this with mine. I got a "SiriusXM Radio 20' Antenna Extension - Right Angle" connecting cable off of Amazon. It worked perfectly!
