What makes you think there is an "ext. cell antenna" under the passenger seat?

Do you have the bluetooth prep option? If so, the connection is in the armrest. I have been trying to find out what kind/brand of connector is in the armrest, cause then we could get both power (+/- 12v) and the antenna connector.

Birdman, yes i have the bluetooth kit, but Yes Dye i mean for Sat radio.

Its some sort of pigtail, one of the guys in the local club has one but i have been unable to meet up with him and its killing me not having sat radio.

You can use an SMB m to SMB f RF cable. I bought mine (I used 2 connected together.) from TJ Surplus on ebay. Just search for "SMB cable" and look for that name. Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to link this for you.
