I just bought a 2019 Silverado RST and I just realized it does not have SiriusXM radio built in with it. Does anyone know of anyway to add it to the radio or jail break it to add it? I don’t want to have to buy a receiver from SiriusXM just so I can listen to it.

You can also stream XM through your phone to the Radio as well. On older GM vehicles the XM was a separate module, I'd research that.

Hello, Just seeing if GM clarified this topic and if an upgrade or system interface is available?  I purchased an LT Trail Boss not even questioning if it had Sirius XM as I’ve had it on every vehicle

If your just interested in music I would recommend Pandora or I heart radio through your phone to your truck via Bluetooth or usb. I find the music quality is better this way. Worth a shot.

I ran into the same problem. Ordered a Trail Boss in July and never gave it any thought as my last five trucks all came with it. Well this one didn't, you have to get the convenience package II in order to get xm radio. Was pretty po'd about this cause dealer swore that it was standard on all LT's. I have since got over it. There are several options available. I have unlimited data on my wi fi through truck.  you can get a xm app on your phone and Bluetooth to radio,  Pandora is another one, I heart radio is another, if you are an amazon prime member amazon music is included in your membership. Several options out there, btw the xm app does charge a monthly fee.

wow..surprised to hear that. I thought all trucks ...especially base LT and above would have this standard.

My '00 Jeep Wrangler has an aftermarket radio with a small magnetic XM antenna that sits on the hood.

 

Not sure if your stock radio is XM enabled and if it is, if it has a port/plug for an antenna but I figured I'd mention the possibility of the external antenna option in case it does.

 

The antenna was about $15 - $20 and is fairly inconspicuous. Plus no drilling/rusting/leaking.

I myself and dealer also thought it was standard on the LT trim level. It was until 2019. Not sure if the infotainment center can be xm enabled, there is no app showing for it in settings or source.

Hello, Just seeing if GM clarified this topic and if an upgrade or system interface is available?  I purchased an LT Trail Boss not even questioning if it had Sirius XM as I’ve had it on every vehicle I’ve owned the last 10 years. It’s standard on vehicles half the price let alone a $50k truck. What is GM thinking! It’s 2019 not 1999! I love the look of the truck, but between the awful throttle response and delayed transmission shifting, and inconveniences like this, I’m regretting switching from RAM.

I have no idea what Chevy was thinking.   Cutting corners. Kinda wish I would of just bought a 2019 old gen body style.  So disappointing.

I’m doing the same for now but I don’t have unlimited data and a 54 mile per day commute round trip. Just seems silly not to include this on an LT trim standard. Btw the response I got back from GM customer service is they couldn’t speculate on this and I should contact Sirius XM. I mean either it’s upgradable or it isn’t. WTH?

The only good thing out of this mess is we don't have a shark fin  antenna on the roof. 

I'm wrapping my truck and I don't have that obstacle to get in the way.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
