Sat Radio Activation Question
Quick Question Reguarding Satellite Radio Activation.
My grandmother has a 2008 GX470 that she bought used. She has tried several times time to activate the radio with no luck. This weekend I told her to bring it over and I would take a look. I have installed and activated several satellite radios so I am familiar with the process. I turned the truck on and pressed the AM-SAT button in an attempt to bring up the activation channel. Well the radio would only go to AM, it acts like there is not satellite radio installed.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what the problem could be or maybe some activation instructions for this truck. Thanks, Mike

something tells me that it doesn't have the XM unit installed if it doesn't show.
click this, read the .pdf attached and see if it say "NCON" for XM....i can pretty much guarantee you that it does

LZM thanks for the response. I am assuming the navigation screen would need to be showing the satelite radio page when entering the diagnostic mode. Is this correct?
The unit will not display a satelite radio source, when I press the AM-SAT button it will only display the AM band page
Is there a function where I can enter the VIN over the internet and seee if this truck was equipped with satellite radio? I just assumed it was since it had the SAT button on the head unit

as you can see, from my picture i have XM installed...when i got my GX it had sirius .....i had and was very used to XM. i went through the trouble of removing the sirius unit and installing a VAIS XM unit and now they're one big happy company! oddly enough though my cd changer in the glove box has never worked! it gets power but in the picture it says there is no cd player....hence the "NCON" in the red block. i had read somewhere that aftermarket sirius installs would do that....unfortunately i cannot find a way to reverse it. i'd love to use the cd changer but i still have yet to find a fix.
