Adding SiriusXM

[rtm03862iq]

Hello all,
New 2023 Tahoe SSV owner looking to add SiriusXM. I bought a kit but I have a question about the stock antenna. Is there any way to know if I can use the factory roof shark antenna with this kit? Has anyone installed a similar kit?

and it didn't come with instructions? (say's "kit"), typically any factory module being added needs to be vin learned.
on the 2015-2020's something like this would need a antenna splitter or separate antenna, not sure on the 2021+

Ok, thanks. Yeah mine is a fleet Tahoe so Sirius isn't included. I haven't received the kit yet so I don't have the instructions. Their site says that the factory antenna "might" be able to be used. I guess I'll find out later this week when I get it.

it probably depends on the factory option in the vehicle, you "might" be able to just plug it in and you also might need just a cable or you might need a splitter and cables.
I ran into sort of the same thing adding factory nav to my 18 (it only had onstar nav), except I could not find the correct splitter and cables that would fit mine and I ended up using a separate antenna instead. I did eventually find a new oem roof shark antenna brand new with dual outputs for super cheap but I haven't installed it, maybe someday it works now so no need to mess with it.

Great info, thanks!

I'll reach out to infotainment.com tomorrow and ask them, but could this be an option? I ran my VIN through GM and the radio in my truck is listed as IOR-RADIO INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM - 3.0 LOW HMI, MIDLEVEL CONNECTIVITY 3.0
