    Factory type sirius antenna?

    What i`m looking to do is see if I can somehow adapt a factory sirius antenna to work with my stratus 5 radio. My car has no stock antenna bolted to the roof, Im using the magnetic mount supplied with the stratus 5. I wanted more of an OE look/permanent look. My system setup is like this...pioneer p4000 dvd,sirius/pioneer interface,stratus 5/car dock,magnet mount antenna. I think the upsetting part of the antenna install would be drilling the hole in the roof to bolt the antenna to. Anyone done this or know someone who has? I dont have a problem with the magnet antenna, in fact it looks really clean and smooth, I just wanted a more OE look.

    Ok I read on some other dodge forums you can use a factory sirius antenna and make it work with aftermarket sirius recievers. What I`ve read is you can unclip the factory plastic antenna connector off the co-ax cable and you have a standard SMB connector, which is what a non stock sirius antenna uses. Then get a piece of extension wire with SMB connectors and plug one end into the antenna and the other into your sat reciever. What I dont understand is there is two coaxial cables coming off the stock antenna. I know one is for satellite signals and one for terrestrial signals, one color coded blue one white. Anyone know which is which? I cant find that info in the service manual.
