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.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
