Georgetown 364 XM Radio not connected to antenna

Have the situation trying to get XM radio to work on the in-dash Sony MEX-N5100BT. Get Check Tuner on front panel. Was able to verify that there is not an XM antenna cable connected to radio. Tried looking for obvious cable behind radio. Verified round white dome antenna on roof.
Has anyone been able to locate the antenna cable?Click image for larger version

Ok unscrewed the screws on the front of the center panel and looked at the back of the radio. The XM interface is a multi-pin interface for an XM Radio Tuner. Found one on Amazon for $35. That should work.

Ok in relation to the white dome on the roof. On the 364 this has an RF coax cable underneath it that feeds to the TV RF switch that is above the copilot seat. See pic.
So this cannot be used for XM as far as I know.
Apparently this is where the feed from a Sat dish would go. For our Sat install they put everything behind the TV.
