Default Stock Sat Antenna

I want to replace my head unit. I am planing on buying a Sirius receiver but I would like to use the stock sat antenna.

Does anyone know if someone makes an adapter to change the Dodge antenna plug into a standard sat antenna plug?

Thanks

The stock unit is behind/above the glove box, you can unhook the antenna wire there, all I had to do was break the plastic cover off of the connector, and it fit perfect on my aftermarket unit. Sorry I do not know the actual names of the connectors...

Even if the connectors don't match your aftermarket setup, take the antenna that came with your aftermarket unit, cut the wire, do the same with the stock antenna wire, cut the connector off, splice back the wire, it's just small coax, and put everything together like so:
