Word Antenna is flashing on the XM radio screen and no text information
I have a 06 LS430. My XM radio works fine until several months ago. Now I can still listen to all the channels, but the annoying thing is the word Antenna start to flash on the XM radio screen and I can’t get song title and artist information when I press Text button. I can still see the song title and artist information in a split second when I turn up the channel.
My antenna is a black square unit mounted on the left side of trunk lid. Could it be 2 wires come out of the antenna, one is for music and one is for text and the text wire is disconnected/loosen to the audio control center? Any ideas?

Update: I went to the lexus dealer. they disconnect the antenna and put it back. Before the service, Only the song title and album is info is missing, now I don’t get any music at all even after the resetting from XM Radio. They told me to buy a new antenna and maybe split the cost with me.
I called the Lexus dealers and they don’t sell XM radio parts anymore. So where can I get a good XM radio antenna with 2 wires now? I play high end audio and prefer the quality of the sound, so I don’t mind to put the antenna on the trunk lid again as long as it gives me clear signals.

Replacement XM antenna
I am having problems with the stock XM receiver in my 04 LS 430. I found what appears to be a replacement 2 wire antenna by Googling " Delphi SKYFi, SKYFi 2 Dual-Lead FAKRA Antenna for Vehicle".
