AVIC-D1 Antenna ?

Has anyone tried locating the AVIC-D1 antenna in the XM module housing located on the roof of a GM vehicle?  What I'm saying is remove the existing XM antenna from the housing on the roof and replace it with the AVIC antenna. 

Is this a difficult operation?  I have a Chev. Tahoe and would like to do this if possible.  Also, I would like to locate the GEX-P10XMT antenna there also.

Thanks,

George

Thanks for your reply.

It appears that it will work, as "useridzero" has a very detailed instruction on a post I just came across (see below).

I will be locating both antennas in the XM housing over the weekend and will reply with the results.  I used to have the antennas located just under the upper dash trim panel but found receiption in some circumstances less than optimal.

Does your factory XM antenna have 1 terminal or 2?

If it's got 1 then you could use that for your new XM tuner instead of gutting it. Just a thought to save you time....

I've done plenty replacement XM installs this way

dsime,

I'm not sure, how do I tell?  The vehicle is a 2005 Chev. Tahoe.  If it has 1 terminal could you tell me how I can use the existing antenna?

Thanks,

Well, I am using the factory XM antenna now as suggested "dsime".   After dropping the headliner and unbolting the factory antenna I could see that this was going to be a little more involved than I would like.  Anyway, the XM radio is located below the glove box (2005 Tahoe).  The antenna is a single brown wire.  Simply remove the yellow plastic cover and plug into the Pioneer GEX-P920XM (see photo). 

I removed the upper dash trim panel and mounted the GEX-P920XM underneath.  This is the easiest way I've found the work on the entire install, not difficult to remove and opens everything up so wires can be secured properly.

Correction: GEX-P10XMT
