Rooftop 3-in-1 antenna

I'm looking at this for my carputer. I'm very interested in the very clean install as it looks very close to the stock antenna on my Corolla and no antennas or recievers need to be visible on the outside of the car. Anyways, the antenna says it's for 802.11; GPS and cellular, but all three are the same connection. I don't know if they're labelled to all be one specific job (which makes some sense, as they all operate on different frequencies) or not, but basically I was wondering if I'd be able to use one of the leads coming off that for XM Radio.

Also, I was wondering what kind of wifi range you can get off of that antenna...

Has anyone even used one of these? I mean, this site sells em....

Yes there are three different coax cables coming out of the unit. They are all labeled what they each are for.

Ah, damn, thanks a lot snyper. Nice avatar, too ;-)

On a similar note, then, does anybody know of any other combo antennas that will do satellite radio and GPS? Wifi isn't neccesary, though also helpful. I just don't really want to litter my rear dash and rooftop with antennas that scream "look at me! I'm aftermarket! rip me off!"
