Is there an adapter that will utilize the factory sirius antenna already installed in my factory radio in a 2007 dodge ram 1500? So I don't have to have the antenna stick on my dash like the GPS is?
Just take the fakra connector (plastic piece) off and it will be just like the sirius antenna end. Then buy a 10ft extention cable... I've just order mine and will have pics when done

Brian Webb [email protected] will make you a cable that will hook up to the end of your factory connector at the tuner. Just email him and tell him your vehicle and what length cable you need. I have a 07 also that I've done. If you would like pics email me [email protected] Good luck

First test to see if you really do have a factory Sirius antenna. The dealer will tell you the car is Sirius ready, but that does not mean you have the antenna. Your radio should have a "SAT" button on it....pushing it should bring up the Sirius emergency weather station, which will play even if your sirius isn't activated. If pushing the "SAT" button does not do this, then you simply have a "Sirius Ready" factory radio, and no factory Antenna and/or tuner. In this case, my advice would be to either mount a sirius antenna on the roof and get a starmate or something, or go to Dodge and spend upwards of $700 for the factory sirius antenna and tuner. If you car does have a factory sirius antenna....then just call 888-539-7474, and activate the sirius that is already in the car, no need to add anything. Hope this helps or at least clears things up.

I have a 2006 Dodge 3500 4x4 truck. It has the factory radio and satellite antenna mounted at the center rear of the cab. I listen to Sirius radio all the time with no problems except for when I put on my overhead camper. Then the signal becomes intermittent. Is there a way to relocate the factory antenna or add an auxiliary antenna to alleviate this problem?
see my post below
same problem
2007 dodge 3500 Ram, I lose Sirius service when I put camper on.
It appears that the Sirius connector at the back of the radio is a 10-pin connector; don't know if I need an adapter or if the actual receiver is located elsewhere on the truck (??)
