If the antenna connectors are the same, the factory antenna should work. If you do have to use the aftermarket antenna, you can put it at the end of the dashboard under the lower edge of the windshield. I've done a few like this. As long as they can "look" through the windshield they work fine there and are barely noticeable.When switching over to a new head unit, can you still use the factory antenna for Sirius? I'm going with a Pioneer head unit and i have to buy the Sirius Pioneer Connect package which includes an antenna. I dont want to put 2 antennas on the roof. Do you know if the factory antenna will work in this case?
Been looking at the Pioneer head units myself, which one did you go with?When switching over to a new head unit, can you still use the factory antenna for Sirius?

Thank you
Yes. I had a REC and bought a REN myGIG. I called Sirius and told them my radio was stolen. They wanted to charge me $15 to transfer my subscription to my new radio but I complained and they did it for free.i take it that upgraded to a "new headunit (REN)" means he changed out the radio.
I can't say I have the experience you have in this as you say you have done a few. In my one case I put the antenna on the dash as you described above and the radio constantly cut out. After a few months I had it moved to the outside on the roof above the windshield and reception improved immensely.If the antenna connectors are the same, the factory antenna should work.
