Satallite Antenna also used for Nav?

Does anybody know our cars are prewired for the nav antenna given they come equipped with a shark fin?

Yes for sat radio

Am, FM, Sat. radio...but don't expect and easy retrofit if your going aftermarket units. My friends labor went from estimated 3 hours to over 8 for his aftermaket unit....just make sure you know what your doing

Thanks, so if I dig around in the trunk...

Can I expect to find the coax coming from the sharkfin that I could theoretically connect to a DVD Nav+ unit with appropriate conversion?

My car didn't come with nav originally so I'm trying to explore different options.
