Default need radio help

i have a 2005 corvette with a bose radio that is xm ready, i found the xm harness above the driver wheel well behind the carpet.

i then plugged in the xm head and checked radio and there was no sat channels so i took out my trusty meter and checked the harness and there is no power going to it.

has anyone else run into this and what did you find to fix it or does anyone have a wiring diagram showing if the harness plugs directly into the radio or is there another plugin where it could have come loose?

thanks for any help

Do you have a "wart"? I'm guessing the harness is in all the cars but not the antenna or software in the radio.

Only 2005 had it there. it was put into the mirrors starting in '06. Actually I think late model '05's had the XM antenna moved to the mirrors. Don't quote me though.
