Default c6 xm problems

Posted this in the c6 section but wanted to broaden my chances of an answer here. I have an 07 z06. it has the factory Nav and XM radio in it. Last week the XM worked just fine. Today the XM stopped working. FM works just fine but when you push the XM button the radio goes silent. You can push the channel up and down and it shows the numbers moving but nothing happening on the display. It shows AUX1 next to the channel number. I plugged and unplugged the module under the back carpet, I unhooked the battery and rehooked it with no change. XM did a signal refresh a few times with nothing. They said that at least I should be getting the channel zero radio ID message if nothing else but nothing.

Any ideas?

Does the car have a PAL installed?

The GM PAL is an iPod/Aux adapter.

I would suspect the iSimple. Most of these devices intercept the XM audio when they are in use.
