Looking for the xm module location on my 2014 LTZ. Specifically where the xm antenna plugs into the module. I have a external sirus head unit that I paid for a lifetime subscriptions years ago. I would like to use the external unit and leverage the stock antenna. There are a ton of videos on how to do this but all show a 2013 which has the module behind the glove box. Is that where the module is for the 2014?

 

I should mention I have the 8 inch my link screen with xm installed. Just would like to use my xm head unit with the aux.

 

Thanks!

Directly behind the screen. AM/FM/XM radio and Onstar radio's both behind the screen.

For your 2014 LTZ with the 8-inch MyLink screen and XM installed, the XM module location might vary slightly from the 2013 models. Typically, in 2014 models, the XM module is still located in the passenger side area, but instead of being directly behind the glove box, it might be under the dash or near the A-pillar. However, it's not uncommon for there to be slight variations in module placement even within the same model year, depending on the specific features of the vehicle. To leverage the stock antenna for your external Sirius head unit, you'll likely need to access this module. If you're unable to locate it based on these guidelines, consulting the vehicle's service manual or a professional installer might be your best bet for a precise location and advice on making the connection.

    • On the PCM side, blue PCM connector, pin 18, solid gray color (no stripe) wire circuit 435.  That is the EGR low circuit which an issue on that line (be it the wiring, the PCM or the EGR valve or system performance) will trigger P0401 when it tests that code.     There is also a VERY old TSB that states to make sure you clear the DTCs ANY time the PCM is unplugged, reprogrammed, or if the EGR valve is unplugged or replaced as the PCM has an auto zero function in the PCM for the EGR pintle data   61-65-59: SMU - SECTION 6E - ENGINE CONTROLS - CLEAR DTC'S - (Nov 25, 1996)   "CLEAR ANY DTCS FROM THE VCM ANYTIME AFTER DOING VCM REPLACEMENT/ PROGRAMMING, TURNING THE IGNITION ON WHILE THE EGR VALVE IS DISCONNECTED, OR REPLACING THE EGR VALVE."   Some diagnostic aid notes in the GM diag on P0401 for a 1995 S10 Blazer:   Diagnostic Aids Notice: In order to prevent further damage if the EGR valve shows signs of excessive heat, check the exhaust system for blockage (possibly a plugged converter) using the procedure found on the restricted exhaust system check. If the exhaust system is restricted, repair the cause; one of which might be an injector which is open due to one of the following reasons: Stuck Grounded driver circuit Check the oil for possible fuel contamination if a stuck open fuel injector is found. Poor connection or damaged harness - Inspect VCM harness connectors for the following conditions: Backed out terminal BL 18 Improper mating Broken locks Improperly formed or damaged terminal Poor terminal to wire connection Damaged harness Intermittent test - If connections and harness check OK, monitor a digital voltmeter connected between terminal BL 18 and ground while moving related connectors and wiring harness. If the failure is induced, the voltage reading will change.
    • maybe get a service manual off ebay?  or check charm.li (website) or subscribe to alldata.com for it?
    • This biggest difference in a HM oil is in contains some  "Seal Conditioner". DEXOS oils and most shelf oils are "Dry" oils which over time harden seals. "Seal Conditioner" is more times than not, an Ester. Addition will soften the seals over time but will not repair one that leaks or has cracked. Esters also provide some cleaning but these HM oils don't contain enough to solve out hard deposits. Just the soft stuff.  Also a function of an Ester.    Ester's are not 'allowed' as a 'co-base" by license. Weird, right?  A certain amount is allowed as an additive. Bunch of game playing is what it is. It's why HM oils don't have a DEXOS approval.    DEXOS is a license 'with' a specification but is not a specification. Never was, never will be. It's GM's slot machine always paying the house. Use what you like.       
    • Have you already dealt with the trans thermostat, which I think your burb might have?  I know the trucks have one that keep the trans temp higher.
    • Our 2007 Acadia had a stroke basically and the car will not move now (although it starts but the idle is erratic with the RPM's fluttering). I can get into reverse and the car will actually move, but in Drive, the throttle does not respond and the car will only move an inch or two at the most. Gauge messages abound -- the usual suspects. Somewhere in the wiring, something has to have gone horribly awry -- either at the BCM (could be right at the harness plug), under the fuse block where all the wires terminate, or a failed ground (or even a bad BCM). In any case, with the number and type of codes I am getting, I am looking for some additional guidance as I know my issue cannot be unique but one of many that has afflicted other Acadias (and similar varieties). Here is the code list (and there are additional codes as well, but these are the big ones):
