You want to use the OEM FM antenne to receive a satellite signal? I have a feeling that's not going to work. I bought the Sirius Starmate last night and the antenne about the size of a 1" thick poker chip.

A standard auto antenna will not work for satallite radio, either
Seris or XM. The frequency is 10 kor more times that of FM. An antenna must be designed for a particular frequency if it is to be even remotely efficent.

Damn I wrote an answer and accidently killed it.
None that I know of and I really dought that one will be made. It would be rather bulky.
Just as an aside I am right now testing components for satallite transmitters, we make the transmitters for the news gathering trucks.
