XM capability with no XM ordered?
Does anyone know if the Nav unit is XM capable even if XM isn't ordered? i.e.- Can you install an XM antenna later to the Nav unit?
Driving the car in Germany for 2.5 years, and figured- why buy XM now if I can't use it? I did buy the nav system and would love it if I were able to put aftermarket (read: smaller) antenna on later.
Thanks for any help!

I am by no means a stereo expert but here you go ...
I have the Delphi receiver for XM that I move from home, to the boat, to my car. I don't know if the C6 has an auxilary input for something such as XM, but Delphi just introduced a new receiver that works wirelessly through your FM radio antenna.
Good luck.

Here's my totally uneducated guess. I speculate that since the NAV unit has the controls for XM on the screen, then it has XM capability if enabled. I'm thinking that the $325 is for the cable and antenna installation. I don't think it is a separate module, just enabling what is there. Like I said, this is just a guess.

Can't help you with your question - sorry. Maybe you can be of assistance to me. I will be transferring to Brussels next year and am keeping my fingers crossed that I can just pop a new european DVD into the Nav unit and it will work over there. Any confirmation?

2005 C6,
Don't know if the Euro DVD will work in the nav system. I'm almost positive it should.
I did post the same question on the forum a while back, and got no firm answers. I guess the only ones that know for sure is GM. If you find out before me, please let me know! Good luck.

Well here's the answer. Not exactly what I was hoping for :"it seems not that simple because the Navigation system by itself would have a diiferent Wiring Harness then the one with Satelite etc".
