Yep. 2005s had the antenna in a wart on top of the car, but all model years since then have the antenna in the outside mirrors.
kaveman, are you sure your subscription is current?
Is it only the XM band that you get no signal?
And lastly, do you have the Nav in your car?

Thanks for your reply, I have Nav installed and GPS works fine. Also FM and AM radio works. I'm thinking I had some touch up paint on the Drivers door last fall and the body shop could have taken the mirror off. If I remember correctly the last time xm was working correctly.

Is the GPS antenna also in the mirrors?
I just got my car back from a complete repaint (mirrors were removed and reinstalled) and I've no XM nor GPS signal
EDIT: I have GPS signal just not XM.. Body shop swears they reconnected everything in ext. mirrors... Oh well, back to 'em I guess

XM working again
I don't know about the GPS antenna, but I took my car back to the body shop who did the touch up paint on my drivers side door last fall. They removed the interior door panel and reconnected a wire connector and behold, my XM radio was working again. Imagine that!
