    I think I already know the answer to this, but I'll ask anyway:

    I recently had my in-dash 6-disc CD player swapped out because of a "CD Error". When I brought the car in, my XM installation was working. When I left, the CD player worked, but the XM didn't. Pressing AM just gives me AM, no Sat options.

    I'm guessing they just didn't reconnect the XM radio. Not sure if it's a matter of policy since it was aftermarket, or just an oversight by the technician. It's also possible that the XM installation would void the warranty on the radio, so the tech did me a favor by just disconnecting it instead of pointing it out to the service manager and getting my replacement disqualified.

    What's the best course of action? Should i mention it to the service guys? Or do I need to open up the dash and reconnected it myself (if it is indeed disconnected)?

    Or is there simply a step that needs to be done (sequence of button presses or something) to tell the radio that it has XM?

    I'm guessing the answer is that I'm SOL and I need to open the dash myself.

    Opening the dash is fairly easy really, everything just snaps apart and back together again. Go slow and you will be fine. Put a cloth down on the dash where you set the MFD. I'm not sure about the aftermarket equipment that you added if it would void the warranty on the HU.

    Aftermarket parts cannot void your warranty unless they can prove that they directly caused a problem.

    If that's the case, should I take it back? Or is it still my responsibility to make sure my own add-ons work, even if they are the ones who disabled it?

    yea, they can argue that you should have checked it before you drove off. I'd just make sure it's plugged in yourself and save yourself a drive.

    Done and done. Took me a half hour, start to finish. It was exactly what I thought - the XM wire harness wasn't connected.
