I have a 24 Ram 1500 with Uconnect 5 with 12 inch display. I'm using my old school Skyfi 2 head unit (for Satellite radio) getting power from the usb, and using the AUX input. I'm also using my original puck antenna on the dash for now because I don't see a good way to get the puck wire from the top of cab to inside without being able to hide it like I did on my 2nd Gen Ram....... (Why am I using a Skyfi 2 ? Because I have a lifetime subscription and just transfer the head unit between my old truck and new truck. No need to pay for an additional subscription.)

I want to get rid of the puck and use the OEM shark fin antenna if possible. I want to tee into the blue connector located behind the pass. side kick panel (which disconnects the Uconnect 5 from the shark fin) so I can us my Skyfi2 with the OEM shark fin. The blue connector is a twin or dual Fakra type.

Does anyone know of an adaptor that would allow me to do this?
 
I have lifetime SiriusXM subscription as well. I just transfer my subscription from vehicle to vehicle, it takes 10 minutes and your done. In fact I just did this last week and the cost was $35 plus tax. I have been doing this for the past 10 years with no problems. You just need the radio ID for sirius and the serial number for your Skify 2.

It is kind of frustrating because you used to be able to do this all online for free, then the the B@#$%ds charged $75 and the last 2 times I hhave done this was $35 plus taxes.
