    Default Is there a way to activate the XM function for the 08's

    I know theres not an XM box but I have found the plug's in the truck. but adding the box locks the system up. My dealer said they can do a re-program to turn it on but wont guarantee it will work and its $100 labor....any ideas?

    Talk to Chris White, but I'm thinking if it could be done, there would be a review already.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!

    I was thinking the same thing but I hope it could be done. I hate the aftermarket XM receiver.

    I have a 2008, and installed a Pioneer Inno 2 connected to the Aux port. I love it. You can't record songs with the OEM XM head units, and I love listening to my recorded XM music as much as the Live stuff.......

    Thats cool...Since I cant change the head unit (because I HATE Stock Radio's) I would like the radio display to be used to the fullest. also dose any body know if the screen turns black if you are just using the audio on the rear Aux?
