xm antenna module location

[Gregg Staples]

I would like to relocate my xm antenna when I have the cab over camper on. Anyone know where the xm antenna plugs into? I have the work truck trim. Have read it is on passenger side near floor, also have read it behind the rear seat, and also behind the radio?? Thanks

I believe it is passenger side, behind the kick panel front floor board.

I finally got around to relocating the xm antenna due to the truck camper blocking the signal sometimes. Thought I would share how I chose to do mine as I had a hard time finding the Fakra adapter I needed.  I chose to go into the driver side A pillar. Rather easy to get to. It is the gold/yellow connector. The adapter I bought of of amazon. [ bingfu Fakra z male to male ] I already had a xm antenna. We are leaving soon for a cross country trip. I can move the antenna around easily to see what works best. The blue adapter is what I purchased. Took about an hour to do after finding the adapter.

just saw this post and am curious about the connection pictured. was the original connection between the shark fin and xmas unit right there? i have a new to me 2024 gmc 3500 that i have a slide in camper  on and it also blocks the signal on depending on direction of travel. i have the same antenna shown already and your solve looks easier than digging in knock panel and locating another connection point. thanks in advance

Yes, that was the original connection to the shark fin as I remember. pretty easy to do and my xm works 99 percent of the time without moving the antenna
