I bought an adapter, for my XM module, that allowed me to use "regular" XM antenna, I had heard that in the earlier versions of the Harley XM Module that the antenna was substandard, so I got my own antenna.

Thanks, I appreciate the comment. So yesterday I found an authentic XM Antenna (reviews on some of the others were not so good) but realized I would need a FAKRA adapter. Didn't know if the other end needed to be a female or male connector, so I ordered both and will return the one I don't need (thanks to Amazon's wonderful return policy). This would have been perfect...
I can't speak for the OP but I bought my XM Module on FB Marketplace and it came with the old XM antenna (Smaller and no logo) I've read on here a lot of guys were have reception issues with that antenna
Harley has since changed and upgraded to the newer XM antenna (with the XM Logo on it)
I looked for 3 months for the Harley branded XM Antenna (part #76000221A) and couldn't find one, I did see one on Ebay for $88 bucks, which is too much for me.
Since I already had several of the newer style XM antenna's laying around all I had to do was locate an adapter, it took a month to receive the adapter, but it was winter and I wasn't riding anyways.
