Garmin Nav Use in Radio Mode

I just installed a Garmin GVN 53 GPS unit in an 2007 Infiniti G35 Sedan. It is wired in through the AUX function in the sound system so I can not listen to the radio when using the GPS. I have to toggle back to the Radio function to listen to my Sirius radio. I was hoping there is a way to wire the GVN so it would work while in the Radio mode. The radio would be on with the GPS in the screen.
The GVN comes with a XM radio function but I do not know if it could work with Sirius.

Does anybody know of a way to make this work?

I think most of the us Garmin black-box users just use ipod and leave the video cable unplugged on the ipod...whereas the video is plugged in for the garmin...i don't think you can listen to the stock radio and use the aux port at the same time...

I think garmin sells an aftermarket antennae called the Garmin GXM 30 that you can use instead of the stock antennae that came with the unit...the GXM 30 will let you get xm traffic, radio, and other stuff

oh btw, where did you mount the unit and the antennae? i have yet to put mine on...still figuring out where to mount those two things...good luck and thanks

I mounted the unit under the glove box and ran the antenna wire behind to rear seats by the break light. I followed the install instruction in the link below.
