Factory Sirius Satellite Antenna

I am looking to upgrade to Sirius, I got the factory HU with the sirius relay, all I need to do is install an antenna now. I have 2 options: 1) Aftermarket Antenna or 2) Install a factory antenna.

My dilema: I know GM sells a kit for XM upgrade that comes with a template for drilling a hole in the roof for the antenna install. Does anyone know if Ford sells the same kit, or would I just have to wing it? I would much rather not have any wires coming out of the 3rd brake lite or anywhere else for that matter.

Any ideas?

Hmmm, not sure. Mine came from the factory. The3 best I can offer you are some pictures of mine if you want. Let me know and I will run out there and take some.

Ok, heres a few pictures of the factory sirius antenna. I think it looks fine and works great up there. I actually took the factory surius out and added the ALpine system and was able to use the factory antenna. Anyway, don't mind the water spots on the roof. It was all clean yesterday and then we had a little rain today and messed it all up

Yeh,,, I had XM in my 04 but when I got my 06 and it had the free 6 months of Sirius I started listening to it and got hooked myself. I like it a little better than XM. But I still have XM at home with my Direct TV. So I get the best of both worlds if I want it....

I used my stock antenna with my Kenwood, just for the record.
