Default XM antenna on roof???

Is it drilled in or can I just take it off? I won't renew XM after the free 3 months because I have Sirius and like it alot better. Can I convert that XM antenna to Sirius? Thanks.

You can get the sirius to work with your factory radio. You need a sirius tuner and an adapter to connect the tuner to your stock deck. I found this for my friend, he wants to do the same thing: http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/inde...opic=33638&hl=

I like the stations Sirius has better than those of XM. I know most are the same but I like the variety in Rock than more.

hmmm, I may have to look into this, I didnt renew my XM after the free 3 months either. I had Sirius on my satellite cable box and I have to say it does have better stations.
