I leased my Acadia on 2/28 at like 8:55 PM and the dealership was closing at 9:00 PM. I did not want to miss out on the February incentives.
The things I wanted most were remote start, to see the outside temperature on some sort of display, and XM. We only have a one car garage and my wife gets it in the winter since she takes our son to school in the morning.
At the time the dealer did not have a FWD with XM but the car had the other two features I wanted and my wife loved the color brown so we took it. I figured at the time I could always add XM at Best Buy or something like that. So I leased an SLE with the basic single CD / radio.
A couple of days later I was messing around with radio and pressed the button labled "CAT", the display then showed "XM Feature". I thought that was strange since i did not have XM.
Today I was back at the dealership getting my transmission re-flashed and recalibrated. While I was waiitng I walked their lot and I saw two or three Acadia's with what looked like the exact same radio I have and on the factory sticker said they were equipped with XM for $199.
My question is I want XM and I don't want to deal with FM modulators to get the sound. Does anyone know how hard it would be to upgrade the radio in my car to a GM one with XM? I suspect the radio I have is "XM ready" since it looks just like the other XM radios.
Do they simply have to plug a reciever in somewhere under the hood or behind the radio and I will have XM?
Does anyone know if I have any options? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
