Default Found satellite antenna wire.its sniped?

I bought the car about two months ago and had time today to find out where it was wired. I found the end.. but the it has been snipped off. The part that connects to the Sat receiver.

1. Can I splice it to a the new antenna end that I will get with the kit? It looks like it has a copper shielding.. may be tricky..

where is the antenna? if it is aftermarket, it should be mounted on the dash or outside and is fairly noticeable.

Its outside on the rear trunk lid. I can find that, and want to use it. The cable to the arm rest is ran flawlessly and out of sight. Thats why I want to keep it, just splice in the new antenna end to the receiver.

Looking for the best way to do this. I have limited electrical experience.
