My 2009 XM antenna is terrible, just driving under trees is enough to cause drop outs. I'm in Orlando and SXM no longer broadcasts a terrestrial signal here and boy does it show, the SXM satellite signal is terrible here in a moving vehicle, YMMV.
The retail antenna may work better than the OE, I would audition them side by side on the roof of the car and determine which is better. Or, do you remember if your other Factory SAT receiver was better?
Yeah I would put it on the roof of the car temporarily next to the current SAT antenna and see if it's better.

PS: All SXM/Sirius/XM antennas use +5V on the center wire and this powers the active antenna. I don't know the exact type of connector on the factory, I do know that the aftermarket antennas use a coax type cable with a plastic housing clip around it.
