Hey everyone!

I recently purchased and rough installed XM radio in my Alero. XM has this Snap unit that plugs directly into the cigarette power outlet. From there you mount the antenna somewhere from obstructions and you're ready to listen.

Ive been reading about how 02'-04' Alero's had factory satellite radio which got my attention and sparked a few questions...

1. Does the factory unit WITH satellite radio look the same as one without satellite radio? (Pics would be cool)

2. What does the antenna for factory satellite look like for the Alero?

The reason I ask is if I can get my hands on a factory head unit with satellite radio capabilities, I can scrap my Snap unit I bought from XM, clear up some cluttter, and have a more cleaner install (Being that the head unit has everything I need for a smooth transition.)

Cheers!
