Default factory srius

Hi
Have 08 F150 with AM/FM single CD and aux button.
I have 2008 mustang that has 6CD and Sirius radio (Aux button is Sirius)
I removed the sirius tuner from the mustang that was in the trunk behind the passenger side trunk trim.
I would like to use this sirius tuner with my f150.
Does anyone know where the sirius tuner is mounted from factory with the f150?
My guess that location may have a harness already there for the sirius unit?

Thanks
Mark

Can you use the factory antenna and tuner with an aftermarket headunit?

I did and I have no problems at all, you have to take off the covers on the plug and just stick it on in.

I have the OEM Sirius tuner to install in mine and I bought the pigtail because mine wasn't wired for it. The pigtail has three plugs one it, that has me a little confused. I know one goes to the tuner and one to the radio but where does the third one go?
