The antenna is a combination unit AM/FM - sat radio and GPS all in a large flat unit installed in the roof just behind the sunroof. Cost abt $1000 just for the part. Best get a small semi portable combination unit and plug it into the aux jack in the glove box. You will have steering wheel volume controls that way. When out sat antenna (part of the ant assembly) went away I got a car electronics shop to install a small Sirius unit. They mounted it just above the old display on the dash and plugged it in to the aux jack socket. All for about $400 including installation of the new Sat antenna just above the windshield. The wife now has her country - western music back. Happy wife / happy life!
