Sirius antenna relocation question

I need to relocate my Sirius antenna because I'll be putting a camper on my SD this summer. I hope someone here can help.

I located what looks like a FAKRA connection under the dash, just below the instrument cluster. I assume the wire at the bottom comes from the radio, and the wire at the top comes from the antenna.

Does anyone here know if the antenna adapter shown below will plug into the OEM connector?

Thanks,
Gary

Thanks, Matt and Hessdawg, I went ahead and ordered the antenna with adapter. It's only $23.00 shipped so I think it's worth a try.

Ordered the antenna here: TERK XMicro XM Radio Micro Antenna XMICRO | Pink FAKRA Single Lead Adapter

I'll post the results when I get a chance to try it out.

I can't speak to the location of the fakra connector in the F150, but if you find it, the antenna I used (see link in my previous post) should work for you too. I ran the wire through the firewall and out onto the hood.
