I am trying to figure out how to put my XM in my pickup. I have the six speaker, 6 disc unit. Is it ready for XM? How do I check it? Thanks, BranZ

If your head unit has a "band" button on the lower left of it........your XM ready.

Yup, every radio from 2003 and up EXCEPT the UM7 base model radio is XM ready. Look at your RPO sticker in the glovebox. UB0, UB1, and UC6 radios are all XM ready. UM7 radio is NOT.

What is the UB7? My Truck has AM/FM only no cd no cassette no 8 track. I'm getting sick of moving my Roady2 for truck to truck.

Look in your glovebox at the RPO sticker (it has a bunch of 3 digit letter/number codes). If you see UM7 there, then your radio is not XM ready. It sounds like you have this radio because you have no CD and no Tape. Unfortunatly you will have to upgrade to either a CD-only radio or a CD/Tape radio. Ebay has some great prices on some. Just make sure that the truck it came out of did NOT have the Bose system, or else it wont work.
