SIRIUS issue ....cable or headunit?
Stock headunit not recognizing the SIRIUS receiver.
Push the CD/AUX button and it will switch to CD but it doesn't recognize the SIRIUS receiver. I checked all the fuses...Sirius powers up and seems to be working fine.
Whats the easiest way to figure out if I have a bad cable or bad headunit.
TIA

id try this
I was using a GM10-Aux for a while in my C5, and the OEM HU was quite finicky about recognizing that it was there some times. I put this procedure in post #9 once I figured it out, maybe it will help you if you're having the same problem.
GOOD LUCK!
Sometimes if you loose power to the radio (dead/disconnected battery), or unplug the GM10-Aux converter, your stock head unit may not want to go to or stay on "Disc 1 Track 1" like it should. After getting some advice from other forum members I put thogther this little procedure that has worked for me every time so far:
-unplug GM10-Aux from Cor-Har changer cable
-let it sit overnight (a few hours at least)
-with car still off, plug in GM10-Aux
-let it sit for at least 10 minutes
-turn on car & radio, select changer on radio
-if it works (Disc 1 Track 1) you're done
-if it doesn't work, leave car running but turn off radio
-unplug GM10-Aux, then reconnect it
-turn on radio, it should work
