Correct!

Tom,
If you know, why is the white connector no longer used for Sirius? Can the newer generation Sirius receivers get a terrestrial signal (the unused white connector) via the satellite (blue connector) antenna. Is there a way to combine the antenna signals into a single input for the newer receivers?

Thanks.

P.S. Hello everyone. New member with a 2005 Titanium Silver over gray leather.

Not sure why this would need to be attempted, the signal strength is perfect with the one connector on the 2nd Generation Sirius receivers.

In NYC it's often hard to get a good satellite signal/clear view of the sky. The terrestrial repeaters are key for a decent signal when spending a lot of time driving in the city.

I just installed my Sirius with the curry connector, so I don't have any feedback to give yet on just having the "blue" connector hooked-up. I'm just moe curious at this point to see if people know the answer.
