Default Location of Sirius antenna w/ mygig?

I'm thinking I'll just order an RER mygig and put it in my '09 unlimited Sahara. I know it will fit, and work, and I don't want to mess with the dash opening.

Question: it looks like the GPS antenna gets stuck to the bottom of the top of the dash, but where do you mount the Sirius antenna? I don't want wires all over the place, can it be concealed as well?

The stock location of the Sirius antenna is on top of the soundbar on the passenger side. If you have factory Sirius (seems like it would be part of the Sahara package) the mygig install is plug and play, except for the nav antenna. There are 2 antenna connectors; white is regular radio and yellow is Sirius.

I swapped in a REN (non-nav) mygig and it takes 20 minutes total.

Mine came with the REQ radio (six disc changer) and Infinity speakers/sub, but no Sirius. So I don't imagine it came with a Sirius antenna already built in.

I ran my aftermarket navi antenna up along the rollbar padding to the soundbar. It's a great place out of sight and the magnet has never moved on me.
