It's hiding out mascarading as your rear window defogger. The upper-most grid lines act as the antenna.
There may be some confusion here (perhaps on my part). Since satellite Radio works on a much higher (different) frequency, I don't believe they are ment to be hooked up to the OEM am/fm radio antenna.
You might want to get confirmation on this. Belkin's Satellite Antenna looks much like a GPS antenna, a 1.5" square x .25" Plastis box.

Sat radio set ups usually come with a seperate antenna, it looks like either a little black square or a shark fin. You stick them on the roof of your car with double sided tape and run the wires through your headliner to your h/u. Don't try using your cars factory antenna for sat radio, that **** won't work and you'll probably break something.

Or do that^
Then when you get tired of paying the sat radio bill, it will be easier to take it out of the car.

I think he may be trying to find the antenna to hook up an FM modulator so his satellite radio will play through his factory one, but I could be wrong. If thats the case just unplug it behind the factory stereo.

Actually some newer Satellite radios tie into the factory antenna. My brother got a new one for his Tractor Trailer because his other one broke and it ties into factory antenna AND still has it's own antenna not really sure why.

Conan is right im trying to hook up a fm modulator so it will play through my deck, my satellite has to hook up that way. i thought about just hooking it up to the antenna that runs to the back of my radio (i dont have to cut anything it just hooks on to it) but i didnt know it if would work the same. and ya it also has the antenna with a magnet that goes on to the roof. thanks for all the help.
