Press the button labeled band on your radio and see if the xm tuner comes up. I'm alomst positive you have XM from your description, you just need to call XM and sign up.

Each OEM radio in the H3 is XM ready, the question is whether an XM receiver is actually installed (like the one in your link) in your rig. Do what Mike E suggests to find out.

Do as Mike E suggests; however, you should have three months free and the salesman should have set it up for you.

Your radio is definitely xm ready and the Terk GM direct kit works great for that application!

I'm looking at installing XM in my H3 but not the kit above, I will be using one of XM's receivers. Have any of you done this and how/where did you mount the antenna?
Thanks-

I saw one at the dealer that had the antenna mounted on the dash on the passenger side. It was in the corner where the windshield meets the A pillar. Looked like it was stuck on with double sided tape.

Bad idea!! We learned this the hard way by re-doing many such installations as the customers had constant drop outs. Mount it on the roof and come in the rear hatch grommit.

I agree with Kodiakz. mount the antenna outside. I tried that on my C5 Vette, and it didn't work correctly, and the Vette had a large swept back windshield. The antenna must have sight with one of the two satellites to operate, and when mounted in a windshield the roof will block it when driving in some direction. (Unless you are in an urban area that is covered by ground repeaters.)
Has anyone considered using the standard XM/Onstar anetenna from GM. If you have Onstar and no XM, just replace the GM antenna with a version that has both coax leads.

I got the gm direct kit installed, the radio recognizes the XM. It shows XM 1 and XM 2, but i keep getting a no signal reading, I've tried moving the antenna, but it still says no signal, any other suggestions.

Where did you mount the antenna? If you unplug the antenna, does it display "antenna error" or "antenna not detected"? Make sure you did not cut or crimp the antenna wire anywhere.

The antenna is mounted in the back, on the roof approx, 6 inches from the door. If I unplug the antenna wire it still says no signal.

Get another antenna, place it out on your hood (for test only) then plug it in and see what happens.
