Truck W/o Onstar / Xm

whizbanger1 · June 16, 2010

Can you order a truck without it? I don't like where they put the antenna on my 07. The other day I saw a new truck w/o the antenna over the drivers door but there was a small one on the roof, centered in the back. I would rather install my own antenna for Xm if the factory still mounts them in front. Thanks.

Yes,They have both XM & On-Star delete options,However they are generally for fleet orders and might not be available for regular customer or stock type orders.

How big are the mounting hole(s) for the antenna?

I believe you are right about that one Rich. I remember reading somewhere that the credit they gave for deleting both the On Star and XM on GMT900 trucks was only a fraction of what GM would normally charge for these features if they were optional. I have the XM radio in my truck and it was I believe a $ 350 option and OnStar was even more, something like $ 650 (do not have that). So one had to spend about $ 1,000 to get OnSTar and XM on a 2006 GMT800 truck.

My brand new 2010 GMC Sierra has the delete option, and I bought it right off a dealer's lot. However, it is a Work Truck model, albeit with Power Locks, Cruise, etc.

Actually its not that your truck has the delete option,Its that your truck was not ordered with XM/On-Star....You see XM/On-Star are no longer standard on the Work Trucks,They are now an extra-cost option.
