Yes. The factory-installed hardware option is a GM-validated part that is covered under the GM New Vehicle Limited Warranty. However, your XM Radio subscription service is not included with the warranty.
If you own a vehicle without a factory-installed XM Radio receiver, you have two options:
Go to xmradio.com/refresh and enter your Radio ID (find your Radio ID by switching to Channel 0). Make sure your radio is turned on and in an open area with a clear view of the sky. Wait 10-15 minutes for the signal to activate. Then you should be ready to go.
NOTE: The refresh signal will be sent for 3 hours, so the radio must be powered up some time during that 3-hour window to receive the refresh signal. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, contact XM Listener Care at:
1-800-929-2100.
With your vehicle radio on, press the BAND, AUX or XM button. Tune to Channel 0 and write down the eight-character Radio ID

XM has installed a repeater network in most major metropolitan areas that covers 95 percent of the U.S. population. These repeaters sit atop tall buildings and bridge the gap between the satellites and the receivers in case of obstacles. In addition, there is a four-second lag built into the system to allow for coverage when driving under an overpass or through dense trees.
Prolonged driving through a long tunnel or in a parking garage may sometimes cause a signal loss. In addition, some extremely mountainous regions have mixed signals. Stormy weather will not cause you to lose the signal because satellite radio operates on a frequency that is not interrupted during inclement weather.
XM is available in the continental U.S., its territories and adjacent waters, as well as in Canada. In Canada, the XM service is made available through XM's exclusive licensee, Canadian Satellite Radio Inc. (go to www.xmradio.ca for the Canadian channel listing, online radio offerings and to subscribe). XM provides excellent coast-to-coast signal coverage to the densely populated regions of Canada through its satellites and a robust ground repeater network installed in major metropolitan areas. Currently, XM's service is not sold in Mexico.
Satellite radio offers advantages similar to that of cable and satellite TV: you get a wide range of listening choices that are not readily available anywhere else, all in one convenient location. For example, XM channels offer commercial-free music, the best in news, talk and entertainment, comedy, family programming and more. Plus, XM programming is always in digital-quality sound, available 24/7, with coast-to-coast coverage. And at affordable prices, too, with packages starting at just $9.99††/month. Call XM Listener Care at 1-800-929-2100 to subscribe.
Annual Savings Plans give you a discount for purchasing one or more years of XM service, plus there are no monthly bills to deal with. There is no obligation with these packages. You may cancel at any time and receive a prorated monetary refund for any unused service. (Other fees may apply for early termination.)
