Default 2012 JKU Sport, upgraded radio not working on sattelite

I have a '12 JKU Sport with the base radio. I found the one-step-up radio (RES, I think) and swapped it in. The sattelite radio does not work however. It says "antenna error". I thought the '12 didn't have to have a seperate antenna for the sattelite radio?

In order to have Satellite Radio, you must have a separate antenna. They are mounted on top of the soundbar.

You will need an antenna and activate the sat radio.

The gps antenna and sirius antenna are combined in 2011 and up. Not the fm antenna and satellite.

I have a new sat. Antenna in the box for my 730 rer radio I bought it because I was told that was the problem but was not my fix. All I did was plug it in and see if it fixed my problem and now it's in the box just setting here. Pm me if interested for a good price. P/n 82210466ab
