Default Using '08 factory shark fin antenna?

Getting ready to install an aftermarket Sirius radio. I want to make the install as clean as possible, so was wondering if there was anyway to use the factory shark fin antenna on the car? The car is an '08 V70, and has the shark fin, but has neither factory nav nor Sirius. Looked around, but haven't found any info about the antenna.

Can it be used?
If so, where does the connector from it terminate in the car?
Any idea if there is a place to get a harness to connect it to an aftermarket Sirius radio (in other words, any idea what the connector is?)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Dave

Default Where's the shark fin antenna cable?

I'd like to know that myself. Wonder why Volvo put the shark fin antenna on the '08s but didn't include the antenna cable? It should be under the cargo floor where the factory installed Sirius radio would be if you'd bought one...but it's missing in my used '08 V70.
