No. the XM device uses it's included antenna to obtain the satellite signal. That's how it works
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Thank you for your question. The antenna that comes with your Onyx Plus vehicle kit is designed for reception of the SiriusXM satellite signals and should be mounted on the roof of the vehicle for best performance. Sounds like you are looking to connect the audio from the vehicle dock to your factory radio. You can achieve this a few different ways. 1) if your factory radio has an AUX audio input, use the supplied audio cable and you are set. if not, then 2) use the "PowerConnect FM built into the Onyx Plus power adapter and try to find an open FM channel (make sure you can hear static) and set the Onyx FM output to that channel. if you can not find a good channel or your audio keeps sounding like it is mixing with the FM broadcast as you drive around town, you may want to add the optional FMDA25 FM direct adapter which will give you a more direct connection (please consult your installer as you may need other special antenna adapters to make this work as well)
