New owner here 04MCS Sirius question

I am the new owner of an 04 MCS, its actually a MC40 version with the John Cooper Works engine mods. I was playing with my radio the other day and noticed the Sirius message came up with a number to call for activation. I did not even know I had Sirius, so here is my question. On the top of the car is a longer silver antenna pretty much in the center of the roof. In the interior of the car under the antenna is what looks like a little plastic box. I also do have the shorty antenna on the back of the roof. Is this silver antenna the Sirius antenna? I was wondering what that was and meant to check into it, but cant stop driving the car long enough to do that. I was going to put in an iPod interface, but my wifes MINI has Sirius and I really like the classic rock stations and could easily live with that instead of my iPod. I did try and search this, but apparently my search skills are lacking. As always, I appreciate all the help you guys have given me already.

yes that is the sirius antenna. if u call the number, u can start a subscription - tell them about your wife's and u can prolly just add a smaller charge for a second unit activation. if u got that message, u are prolly all wired up and ready.

what kind of radio? i have a cooper s 2006 jcw w/harmon kardon, but no sirius installed. i am actually thinking of getting one, if i can figure out how to wire the antenna.

good luck and happy motoring
