Default replacement xm antenna?

My car is 08 coupe with xm. It has side mirror sat antennas. I want to put an antenna somewhere in the rear hatch because my drivers mirror is missing. Is there an antenna that will work with the factory set up? I just want to be able to have XM if I ever want to use it. Thank you for any help.

The XM box is above the rear drivers side wheel hump in the hatch, click HERE for pics.

Any 'standard' aftermarket sat radio antenna should work fine.

Thank you for the information. I just have to find one that has two wires because of the dual antennas?

If your other mirror is in place you should only have to replace the one antenna.

The print doesn't show which side has the yellow or green plugs, and I don't remember ever seeing it online. Plug it in to one, then the other, leave it in the plug that gets better reception

Green is right antenna, and yellow is left antenna according to the radio electronic circuit schematic for the 2006. I would think they have remained the same through all the model years.
