I am installing a Pioneer 7200NEX in my 09 C6 Coupe, I've got just about everything figured out except how to reuse the factory XM antenna somehow. I had the factory Bose 6-disc unit with factory XM radio.

I have SiriusXM SXV300V1 Tuner, and the iDatalink Maestro SAT1 cable/adapter. I was told by some tech at Crutchfield that these would allow me to reuse the factory XM antenna.

I looked all around behind the dash and cannot find the factory antenna cable. I searched through the forums for about 20 minutes, but every post either did not have photos, or the photo links were broken. Nobody really had a description of where to find the connector.

Can anyone please help me?

I'm pretty sure its back in the driver-side rear quarter-panel where the factory XM radio gets installed.

Pull out the carpet at the very top of the hump for the left rear wheel, the factory XM receiver is the silver box. IIRC you want to use the yellow plug for an aftermarket system.
