211 Antena Question? With Sirius...

I have a 2005 E500 that was prewired for Sirius but no tuner unit. Instead of paying $1,200 for the tuner I bought an after market unit that I am going to mount in the ashtray. My question is shouldn't the factory antena on the vehicle be already wired for Sirius? If so where can I cut into it or connect it to my aftermarket unit? thanks!

part of the 1200 is the antenna. It uses a different one.

The installation kit for Sirius for 2005 models includes an antenna that is mounted on the trunk lid. The roof-mount antenna doesn't do Sirius. That didn't change until 2007, when the antenna became "triband." You'll note antennas on 2007-2009 models mount on the roof and not on the rear glass.
