Need help with SAT radio install.
I have purchased a Sirius tuner from Riverside and an antenna from amazon, so I think I have all the equipment to install on my 07S (premium, no NAV, no Tech). I have removed the top cover in the trunk and for the life of me I cannot find the cable(s) to connect to the SAT receiver. Does anyone have any pics to help out here? Where are the cables located? I have looked through the pdf service manual that I have with no luck what-so-ever. Please help!

No. But if I cycle through with the radio button I do get to SAT. 
Looks like I figured out which cable was the right one to hook up. The radio appears to be working on the trial stations, now I just need to figure out where I am going to place the antenna. I was hoping to run the antenna to the inside rear deck to the side of the brake light but i can't seem to find an easy access point to pass the cable through. Has anyone installed the antenna inside the car? Any pointers?

celwin,
Yeah, my cable was mounted on the rear of the deck underside just past the trunk opening. What really threw me off was the fact that this cable was connected to another cable. On my past vehicles the extra cables in the trunk tended to be bundled together not connected. Took me a while to figure that one out...
I ran the antenna to the rear deck next to the sub on the passenger side. I used the rear seat pass-thru to run the cable from the trunk. Does any one have any other tips on how to run the antenna cable.

hyukki,
The car does not come with the receiver installed, just pre-wired for adding a SAT receiver at a later date. In my original post I used tuner and receiver interchangeably. Sorry for any confusion.
