Default factory XM only with aftermarket radio

2007 C6 coupe

I've removed the stock nav radio and bose (blose) amp, because I have an aftermarket radio I want to install. I ran power from the battery for the radio, and ground to the chassis (it's nice not having chimes).

I left all the factory wiring in place and would like to know if I can connect my radio to the factory XM receiver? The radio is XM ready, it has a cable jack in the back.

Is there a cable that goes between my radio and the XM receiver?

Can't be done.

You can use the oem antenna with an aftermarket sat receiver if you pull apart the plug, but that's it.
