Blzbo Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 I have an 2003 ss and I am installing a Kenwood DDX371 receiver and would like to add xm. Has anyone ever run an xm antennae. I have heard some of the trucks may be prewired for xm. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggerdan11 Posted September 30, 2014 Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 if your truck was pre-wired for XM it would have a shark fin antenna on top. Even in that case Im not sure if you can integrate the aftermarket Kenwood with the factory XM I just ran my antenna out of my third brake light on attached it to the roof. It was super simple to run it through the trim of the truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blzbo Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Thanks for the info. I read online in a couple of places that people left the antenna under the dash and still had good reception. Is this something that you looked into or tried?

90zxdriver Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Mine is mounted under the dash. My XM account isn't active any longer but it worked without fail when it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattGuppy Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Same here ran mine all the way up to the glass under the dash panel and it worked great. -Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.Rozell Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Anyone know, are all XM antennas the same? I have XM in my truck but the module went bad and I don't want to buy the $300 replacement so I was going to just get a new radio and buy the $40 XM module from Sirrus to be cheaper and get a nice double-din touch screen out of it. So, question is, can I use my factory antenna with an aftermarket box so I don't have to have 3 boxes on my roof because 2 is plenty...

BAMA03SS Posted March 18, 2015 Report Share Posted March 18, 2015 (edited) My 2003 SS has a different connector with 2 inputs. Both appear to be the same. I will post a picture later.
