Shark Fin antenna relocation

[Tinsey]

I occasionally haul an overhead Lance Camper on my 2014 Ram 2500. This hides the shark fin antenna which interrupts signal to Sirius XM radio. I am willing to add the Navigation to my 8.4 unit but not if it won't work while the camper is installed. The Dodge dealer has no clue what to remedy this issue. Anybody know of a relocated antenna for use while the camper is on the truck?

Get a Sirius Antenna and use an adapter to plug into to the back of your radio. Route to wherever works for you. http://www.amazon.com/SiriusXM-Radio-Antenna-Adapter-Connector/dp/B00BCL8HJW

Oh Adrian, Thanks for the speedy reply. I looked at the link and I will get this as soon as I find the actual antenna That goes with the adapter. Any suggestions or recommendations? I'll figure out how to mount it no problem. Also do you believe that satellite radio antenna is good for GPS and all other stuff my existing Shark Fin does now? Thanks in advance!

I believe those two should go together, and adapter I am not 100% sure on, but 99%, they are pretty much the same plug across all manufactures.

That antenna is only good for Sirius. It is a magnetic mount, if a saw a picture of what your working with I could give you an idea for placement. Not sure what the Shark fin does other than GPS and SAT.

In my experience the GPS antenna plugs on most factory radios are the same as the aftermarket radios.
