found satellite module on ebay, ?'s

http://www.ebay.com/itm/MITSUBISHI-L...-/310408977460

So I found this satellite radio module on ebay. I'm thinking I confirmed it works for 2011+ with the fuse by the model # in the ebay post pics match a local evo x guy with a 2011 with rockford sound/satellite radio's satellite module box that he took a pic for me.

So I know I'd need an antenna and cables but where can I get that from? Based on the connections on the box of the module I'm assuming the coaxial gold looking connection is for the antenna, and the harness plug on the left is to the radio.
I have the oem non rf navi, would that make a difference?

So being a day off I went outside and took apart the dash to see behind the navi unit and see if any open connections or loose wires for the sat radio. But after looking at the back the only non used connection is on the top back of the navi. It looks like an old s video type connection. Anyone know if that's the connector for the sat radio? I can post a pic.

There should be a wiring harness taped up behind the glove box where the sat box mounts. Regarding the antenna for it - the antenna for a sat-equiped evo is different (has the larger square base) and a different cable running from the mast to the electronics. As I recall (from when my vehicle was broken into and the antenna cable severed) the cable and antenna base/mast are sold separately. In order to install it you'll need to drop the headliner; not a cakewalk, but not nearly as bad as replacing the turbo in an X, either.

I'm not worried about the antenna, any generic satellite antenna I think will work. I'm stuck with the wire from the head unit navigation to the satellite box

If there is not the wiring harness where the sat module goes, then you had the bottom-tier unit, and I do not think that satelitte was an option available to the vehicle. It might be possible to jerry-rig a later unit on that has the additional connectors, and build a harness for it, but really you'd be better of with a different direction in that situation.
