I need help finding the place on my 2010 Camaro SS to find the place to hook up my after market xm tuner to the factory xm/shark fin antenna. I dont know what I'm doing wrong this is third time I've asked

I would have to ask.....why would you buy an aftermarket xm tuner when you could have just activated your account through the stock radio??

Unless he changed to an aftermarket radio. If that is the case he will have to install the XM module even if the head unit is XM ready.

Sorry, but yes I'm changing to an aftermarket radio

I was just wondering where the factory XM tuner is so I can access the factory sharkfin antenna

I will make a phone call today and I will reply back with the answer. I’m pretty sure you can access it from behind the head unit though.

Im going to just pay to have it put in. Thank you for trying

Your car is nice. Mine came from Alabama and is in real good shape. The underside is clean and is a rust free car

Sorry about that I never got a return call. You aren’t to far from me. Thanks for the compliment.

I'm a little late to the game so you may be past this. I have a portable radio that I use on my desk at work, in my truck and in my car. I don't want to pay three subscriptions so I did not want to activate both vehicles stock radios. My solution was to hook up the stock shark fin to the portable radio. The cable is hooked into the back of the radio (I think it is a yellow port on the stock radio). To do so I used this cable to convert from the Chevy end to the Sirius XM standard plug.
