2010 Satellite Radio "No Signal" Issue

[Stewart]

I've read every thread I could find on this topic but I cant seem to find the detail I need.

Equipment:
2010 SR5. Satellite Radio, No Nav. CD Changer. Party Mode - Im assuming that this was the standard head unit in 2010.

Background:
The Sat Radio (SiruisXm) has worked flawlessly since I bought the truck. Over the past 4 weeks, The Signal Loss / Fade In / Out has become more frequent, Now, it cant find a signal 90% of the time.
Ive tried the Satellite signal updates - Still no fix.

Assumptions:
I believe this to be an antenna issue based on all of the threads Ive found here. The head unit seems to be working normally - I can receive FM and AM stations without Issue. All buttons work etc.

Since I believe this to be Shark Fin antenna related, my question is: Where does the antenna coax attach to the head unit OR is there a separate Satellite module? Ive read a post about this module being under the passenger seat but I cant confirm.
Does anyone have a part numbers / links to the parts I may need to replace the antenna? (It doesnt need to be a new shark fin or even mount in the same location.

Insights are greatly appreciated.

i replaced the shark fin with a corolla xm antenna. easy to install and signal was much better.

This helps. Where does the new antenna integrate into the existing coax or module?

Check to make sure the bolt that grounds the antenna to the roof isn't loose. I had this issue after going through a car wash that had a very strong dryer.
