You sure you got a Sirius tuner and not XM?

XM &amp; Sirius both have a preview channel. Can you tune it in and listen to see what they say?

Hopin' someone looks at this and can help me, too...
Dealer says I can't run a factory glovebox CD changer with the factory XM.
Is this true? Sorry to steer off topic.

Default From what I've heard that is correct. I heard a special cable is in the works, but nothing yet.

Either Sat radio or Glove box changer, not both.

Default I tuned to the 184 preview for Sirius and it's activated now

It's definitely Sirius service, you hear Sirius commercial on the preview channel, and it's activated once I called the number, but it says XM on the HU and in the info LED screen on the console.

Can anyone else verify? I'll have it checked at the dealer.
