I just bought a replacement 5" with SXM to replace my 5" without it from the owner of a local stereo shop. He threw in a generic SXM antenna. I found a couple adapters on Amazon to connect the generic antenna to the radio.

After having broken many trim tabs installing the Armorlite flooring in my JT, I was hoping I could run with the antenna tucked above the radio to avoid removing any trim. No luck, too many signal drops. I was expecting to have to run the antenna wire along with the speaker wires under the passenger side flooring trim, but once I started removing the roll bar trim, I found an easier route following the roll bar and down the A pillar. This was way easier then running down to the floor.
Here's a picture of the route. I used yellow vinyl tape to keep the horizontal run it in place. I added the red arrows to help point out where the cable is.
