help, dealer mehcanics are morons!
 

i brought my 08 h3 in for a recall and rattle noise. they did the recall, said they fixed the rattle, but its still there. all they do is lie. they said my battery was leaking acid, so they changed my battery under warranty, but now my Xm radio doesnt exsist. i scroll through the band channel and all i get is fm and am no more xm 1 and xm2? wtf did these idiots do? any help.

Your XM may have to relink to your radio. You might have to remove one battery cable and wait for a while then reconnect.

Tried that. I disconected the positive for 2 min while car was off and no go. Still don't have any xm bands.
looks like its back to the dealer monday.

did you try calling xm at all to see if they have to send a signal to your vehicle? then again if your not even getting the options on the radio then it sounds like tom fooery!!!!

My first Hummer was an '07 H3 and its XM suddenly ended. I was not the original owner. So I called... the original owner paid one year in advance and when that time ended, so did the service. But, I was also paying a subscription fee... so XM was caught double-dipping... they reconciled the issue by giving me a credit on the months that I paid when service was pre-paid.

Speaking of XM... they used to be great... really enjoyed the choices in music... I liked XM so much that I bought a lifetime subscription on the H3T... then... to quote Don McLain... "... the music died." XM merges with Sirius, and ever since, I can't seem to find stations that I like. It's like cable TV... I am constantly searching for something that I enjoy hearing.

On top of that, Sirius now defines my "lifetime" subscription as a maximum of 10 years. I bought the H3T as a "keeper"... so in eight more years, I'll be screaming if the plug is pulled... can you say "class action lawsuit."

its not a xm issue, i dont even have the channel options anymore. press band and all i get is am fm, no more xm1 xm2. so pissed i have to drive 40min to drop this thing off again.

So let me get this straight.... I have XM in my wife's car and on my PC. I also use one of those crummy receivers velcroed to my dash. Your telling me that my Monsoon system can now get XM?? Mine doesn't have any options for XM on the Band of the single disc radio, but I'd sure like to have it. Does my system have XM and I just didn't know it??

is your car on? i only see the xm choices when i turn the car all the way on.

If you have the Monsoon you pretty much have the capability to have XM. It will already have the XM reciever box behind & under the OEM 6 disc. When you flip thru the "bands" you will see XM or Aux. If you do not see them you still have them and just need to reset the radio. When I added my PAC Ipod integration I somehow lost XM/Aux. After I reset the radio "unplugged and plugged it back in" wha-la everything was back again!

I don't think mine has the changer. It's just a simple single disc in dash unit and I noticed the Monsoon box in the back. My Band button never brings up XM.

Oh and sorry, didn't mean to hijack a thread! My bad!
