XM Radio 2006 Monte Carlo - 7/12/2006 8:03:30 PM    Greeny   Posts: 45 Joined: 7/8/2006 Status: offline Here is my question. I did not get the XM radio with my 06 Monte Carlo. I have the AM/FM 6 CD Changer setup in the car. I use a standalone XM radio setup but if I were to want the XM radio installed, would it require a whole new radio or is it something that they can install in the radio that would turn on the xm portion. I thought I had read somewhere that all the radios had the option of having that put in but can't find it anymore. Post #: 1

You have to get an antenna and a wiring harness I think. I once looked at getting it for my 2002 but my radio is too old to even support it. Just look around online for a GM radio XM system.

I take it that is the box that controls the onstar and XM radio. I guess all that I need to find out is what the cost of the harness is that you need to hook it up. (in reply to rrobert05) Post #: 4

RE: XM Radio 2006 Monte Carlo - 7/16/2006 1:03:24 PM    Greeny   Posts: 45 Joined: 7/8/2006 Status: offline I will have to try and get behind the glove box and see if anything is there. Seriously doubt it though since I don't even get an XM band when pushing the band button. (in reply to DESS03) Post #: 8

RE: XM Radio 2006 Monte Carlo - 7/18/2006 9:27:54 PM    rrobert05 Posts: 59 Joined: 6/21/2006 Status: offline Sorry I replaced the XM with sirius the box on the right side when you are facing the trunk is the XM box the left side is onstar I removed the XM box it even said XM on it. When I get the interface for my stereo that they do not make yet I will be selling the stock 6 cd one with the xm. It is in my trunk right now to make the onstar work. _____________________________ 2006 MC SS, Alpine IVA-W200 w/Nav dvd head unit, Poke Audio MM 6 1/2 front door, Infinity Kappa 693.7i 6x9 rear deck, 12" kicker L7 sub 600 watt kicker mono amp, 650 watt 4X kicker amp for the front and rear and sirius, cold Air Intake box plus (in reply to Greeny) Post #: 9

RE: XM Radio 2006 Monte Carlo - 1/7/2007 5:02:15 PM    tcaleb Posts: 16 Joined: 1/7/2007 Status: offline  I purchased a 2006 Monte Carlo 3LT about 2 months ago, and have been fighting with the dealership since the day I bought it. I inquired about it having XM installed at the factory, and they told me yes, all I had to do was call XM to activate the radio. Needless to say, they need the radio ID, and I have since found out that it was not installed. I got the build sheet from the dealership. I have been trying to find a way to get XM installed on it through the radio ever since. This is some of the best information that I have been able to find. I was working with the dealership on an XM conversion that they have installed on other GM vehicles, but GM does not make the crossover cable yet for the 2006 Monte Carlo. So I am playing the waiting game, until I either find a trashed 2006 Monte with XM installed, or until another option becomes available. My question is:    Someone mentioned the box on the right side of the trunk. I have the Onstar box on the left side, but nothing on the right. Someone also mentioned behind the glove box. Where would the XM receiver be mounted? Or is it in both places? rrobert05, you mentioned that you took out the XM box in the back. Is it something you would sell? (in reply to rrobert05) Post #: 10
