Existing XM Satellite Radio
I just purchased a 2005 Lariat and the previous owner has a XM Satellite radio display unit installed by the shifter. When i turn it on it list all the stations and the song playing, but i am not sure how the radio is supposed to communicate with the module. I am sure everything is wired, but is there a button you have to hit on the factory radio for you to receive the satellite signal?? I know there is a subsciption to this service, but if it lists the song and station do you believe that i have the service for now. I was just wondering because i have never used satellite radio before. Thanks.

If it is not a wired connection you may have to play around with what station the XM radio is tuned to so that does not interfere with a local station.
Go here to find what station should work best for you. http://www.radio-locator.com/cgi-bin/vacant
If you can tune the XM radio to any XM station then you still have a subscription.
