Default Do I have sat radio?

I have an 05 corvette with bose and no navigation. I press the band button but there is no xm or sat option. I read somewhere on here that if you have us9 on your rpo code sticker that the sat radio can be unlocked some how. Just wondering how true this is and if its hard? Is it something the dealer has to do? Thanks in advance for any help.

US9 is the RPO code for 2006+ 6-Disc, AM/FM Bose Radio w/XM.

For 2005, U2K is the code for the XM Tuner option.

Another easy way to tell if you have XM in an '05 is there will be a 'wart' antenna on the halo/trunk.

This info is from the Corvette Black Book. A very handy little pocket-book that charts all the changes from day one to present, in Corvette history.

Dealer can tell you and make the xm band appear on your radio after he hooks it up to the computer in the service dept. there are links on here about it.
