Aftermarket radio install - Sirius antenna
I have installed a new Pioneer radio in my car and also bought a new Sirius tuner. My intention is to retain the original MB sat antenna and have routed a cable from the trunk to the front. So far so good. My challange is that I am not sure where the original sat antenna cable connects to the car so I can plug in my new Sirius tuner.
Does anyone know where in the trunk that sat antenna cable is located?

There might be other useful info in that link while you are working through it. Routing the cable isn't too bad, I did it ~3 months ago. The trim pieces you have to remove pop off easily enough, and I didn't break any plastic tabs on any of it like I've always managed to do.
