#2 of 40 XM Radio for Maxx by zebco Dec 17, 2005 (1:30 am)
First of all, very interesting and informative message board.   I just bought a used 05' Maxx LS. The radio is NOT XM ready. I was wondering if it was possible to buy an upgraded factory radio that is XM ready (and maybe with an MP3 player) and have it installed. I'd prefer not to deal with aftermarket radios or those satellite radio receivers. I have talked to the parts department of two different dealers here and neither could answer that question. I was hoping someone here might know. Thanks! Replies to this message: e2helper (Dec 17, 2005 12:58 pm)

Replying to: zebco (Dec 17, 2005 1:30 am) Actually I am pretty sure your vehicle has uplevel CD radio (2 line display) so it "would already" be XM-ready. The issue you have is that the XM feature for the factory OEM system still requires a separate receiver module mounted in rear of vehicle which isn't in your vehicle (or the associated wiring or antenna/cable).
#4 of 40 RDS by maddmaxx Dec 27, 2005 (6:26 pm)
e2helper,   How do you scroll through the RDS messages on my '04 Maxx LS 6 disc changer XM radio? It will read a phone number and cut off the last few digits. Thanks. Replies to this message: e2helper (Dec 28, 2005 6:29 am)

Replying to: maddmaxx (Dec 27, 2005 6:26 pm) For RDS and XM information I don't believe it is possible to scroll - you can only cycle between display modes. This is one area I always wanted to understand a little better.   For OnStar phone number display I think it displays 10 digits which only covers a basic U.S. number with area code
#6 of 40 Radio knob and mirror? by maddmaxx Jan 13, 2006 (9:24 pm)
Does anybody know a part number for the power button on the 6 disc XM receiver? Mine's peeling and the dealer can't help.   Also, I have a noise that sounds like a rattle in the passenger mirror, the dealer was also unable to fix this under warranty so I'm on my own. Any ideas to what the problem is?   Thanks for the help.

Replying to: maddmaxx (Jan 13, 2006 9:24 pm) Hi,   Knob kit for 2004 Malibu radio is 22690637. Should be a cost of $5-$6 from dealer. Likely hard to get cheaper anywhere else due to shipping charges. Might just be one knob in kit because it is actually a couple pieces (inner pushbutton and outer knob). Don't know if both knobs on radio are the same - this one mentioned Power specifically.   I was unsure about your comment on the mirror. I don't really have a suggestion anyways but was it something dealer thought they could fix - just not under warranty?   FYI - the fact that your vehicle has XM option doesn't have much directly to do with the radio head itself. The XM receiver function is done by a separate electronic module in trunk. All but the base level radio in Malibu is compatible with this XM receiver.

Replying to: e2helper (Jan 14, 2006 8:36 am) I'm out of basic warranty now. The dealer replaced the glass gasket, but it didn't fix the problem. A bunch of empty promises later and the service department being fired, I'm on my own now out of warranty. The rattle sounds as if it's coming from the passenger outer mirror. It has become worse and can now be heard with the window down. It sounds as if something is loose and will come and go depending on the wind strength. Thanks in advance for any help or ideas.   I've had really good and really bad service out of the dealer. I still have an oil leak, probably from the rear main seal as the pan has been done. I do have GMPP, but was told I may be responsible for the repair costs if they determine the oil brand is the culprit. I think that's nonsense but will think about that next time I purchase a vehicle. Replies to this message: csandste (Mar 16, 2007 7:20 am)
#9 of 40 troubles with radio by notoriousmojo Jun 06, 2006 (3:04 pm)
Ive had my '05 MAXX for a little over a month and love it. The only gripe I can come up with is the radio. It seems the radio reception wants to cut out regularly, and when this happens it sounds almost like a cd skipping. I havent checked with the service department at the stealership yet but will be going in for service soon. Anyone experience this as well? Any input appreciated.

Replying to: notoriousmojo (Jun 06, 2006 3:04 pm) sounds like the radio needs to be reprogrammed...it can be done at the dealership..its a software upload they can do......it done by simply loading a CD they have into the player......do you have in popping sounds as well???
