Antenna MOD

OK you guys may find this dumb and unnecessary but is there anyway to run your fm radio off of the XM antenna and possible just do an Intenna delete. If not just let me kno. i just think it would be sweet with out the antenna and just use the "shark Fin" XM antenna

i bought a thing called a PX AMG for my 2006 cobalt ss because it doesnt have a way to connect my ipod to the radio OTHER than a stupid **** sounding radio transmittor. so the PX AMG is a plug and play that goes directly into the back of the radio and it make your XM station thingy for the ipod and it sounds cd quality. ha now that point of this story was that you can get it with an hd radio thing. and im not sure at ALL because i didnt want it so i dont have it and idk ANYBODY else that has EVER used it other than me ha but i think it probobly comes with its own antenna thing like an indash monitor with gps would ya know. idk. check it out but if it comes with what im talking about youd have hd radio and you could remove your antenna. AGAIN idk know im just throwing this out there. check it it out.
