Where is the antenna on my '08 Sport?

[Nuke]

I just picked up a Sirius radio with vehicle install kit and I'm not sure where the existing am/fm radio's antenna is. IF I decide to input via the radio's tuner in lieu of the aux input, I'll need to know that.

Its printed on the left rear window. Or maybe the right. One of them. If you look at it, you'll see what looks like an array of defrosters but its actually the antenna

It's printed on both rear side windows. It's a diversity antenna, so your head unit has 2 antenna plugs. Satellite radio comes with its own antenna.

Correct and I have that as part of the Sirius vehicle kit, to be installed. However, there are 3 ways that you can feed the audio signal from the docked satellite receiver into the headunit, one of which is by installing a supplied antenna in as close proximity as possible to the car's antenna. The Sirius receiver will transmit on an open FM channel of your choice.

Although I intend to feed the audio into my headunit via the aux input, I was just curious how much a pain the antenna input method would be in case I wanted to maintain my aux input open.

I wouldnt do that if u dont want to get horrible sound quality. Hardwire is the only way to go in my opinion
