So I would guess the connection to the antenna is just sitting in the dash behind the existing radio. Apparently the previous owner had a radio with GPS / Satellite radio but took it. So I've got a sharkfin on the roof of the car for that.

I've got a Ford Freestyle 2007 that has the satalite antenna built in and everything but the previous owner removed their radio and it's been replaced with just a stock radio with no XM. Does anyone know if I can buy the original radio that would have XM and an Aux in connection?

Ford does not come with XM from the factory. If it had a factory installed satellite radio it would be Sirius. Yes they are the same company, but the systems are still different.
