Default Where is the SAT radio antenna on the JKUs???

I have a JKU on order with the Sirius radio and I was talking to the salesman about the SAT radio. I asked WHERE the actual SAT antenna on a JKU was and after a bit of pondering, his answer was that it is the round plastic bezel of the regular radio antenna where it goes through the JKUs body/where it mounts. This wreaks of BS - so does anyone actually KNOW where the SAT radio antenna is on a JKU???

IIRC, depending on the year....either above the radio under the trim plate or on the passenger side near the speaker pod.

Awddude- yep. However, I may be a special case. I have been dealer with a dealership here for a while as it seems the vehicle we want is a three eyed, 4 winged neon purple unicorn and is a beast to actually locate one. The dealership FINALLY had a lead on one in transit to a dealership in GA, not to dime them out but it is Ed Vo##### Jeep and they SUCK. I whole heartedly recommend running away from them if you ever come in contact with them... Story went from "We only have one person here that is able to do dealer trades and they are on vacation for the next week and a half" to the next emial was "we will have to gt clarification on if we can trade it" to "no problem, as soon as it comes in" to "oh, it came in Saturday but it is out on an over the weekend drive with a couple, all 4 of the JKUs......" to me and the dealership here saying to HELL WITH IT. Luckily, the dealership here had placed an order for the EXACT vehicle we wanted a week prior to all the final BS with the GA dealership. So now I am left to wait another 6 or (HOPEFULLY) less weeks before she is here. I am NOWHERE near a patient person, so it bites. However, a blue JKU Sport built per our demands is being prepped in OH now- I hear it will even show up with my name on the window sticker. Silly, but I get a kick out of that!
