Default Switching out factory radio with factory sat radio

Ok, I have a 2005 1500 QC with the RBK radio. I would like to swap it out with a factory radio with satellite but have a couple questions:

1. What model radio do I need? RBQ?
2. I think I also need a satellite receiver, correct?
3. Where is the satellite receiver located in the vehicle?
4. Is it possible to install the factory sat antennae as well? (I don't mind cutting a hole in the roof if need be.
5. Is the cabling already there and just not used or will I need cables as well?

I have the skill to do the swap, I'm just not real sure on the above questions.

Thanks,

Robert

I think the sat receiver is up behind the glovebox to the left if I'm not mistaken.

Not sure about the radio. The 06-08 radios all work the sat receiver.

If it were me, I would look into an after market head unit and maybe even a double din head unit.
