Xm radio tuner
 
Hey,
i have a 2008 hhr with a factory radio that is xm ready. It has the CAT button that says "xm feature" when pressed. I was wondering what I would have to buy to get xm working, i was reading i have to get a tuner/antenna but am not sure, is this what i'm supposed to install? https://www.amazon.com/SiriusXM-SXV300v1-Connect-Vehicle-Satellite/dp/B00NJTO4CY
Thanks

If it has a shark fin antenna at the rear just call them and start paying. The other easy check is if you have an OnStar button on the rear view mirror.

sorry, i should've been more specific, the only bands available to me are fm and am, the owners manual says to find your radio id you must tune to the xm band channel 0 which i am unable to do

They seem to be having the same problem I am having, the question is how do I access the radio ID or do I need to install a xm tuner to be able to access it and if so which one is compatible with the hhr?

I believe I have figured the correct solution, the two products I need are the ISIMPLE ISGM12 SiriusXM(R) Kit and the SiriusXM SXV200v1 tuner, which are widely available. The total cost of both these parts is about $160, it appears that the hhr uses a general factory GM radio which explains why it was so hard to find any hhr specific info. Owners of different vehicles with this same radio seem to be successful with this product. I am going to go ahead and buy these and I will try to install and will keep this post updated.
