Default XM portable hookup ? on C5

Hoping someone can help with my problem. I recentely bought my 2004 C5. Came with portable XM radio hookup. So I activated the XM radio and it plays fine in my home but not in the Vette stock radio/cd. When I push the auxilary button twice to turn my radio over to aux nothing happens. Think the aux button is broken but dont know. Am I miding something? I dont think the aux buttom is broken since car only has 24,000 mile but it could be? Help appreciated.
Thanks

Do you have any information on which adapter the XM is connected to the radio with? There are several different ways to get the sound into the radio. You may have to take the dash apart to find the interface.
