...and I'm wondering if it has XM capabilities. The stereo has a button that says "XM/Aux". When I press it, nothing happens (unless I have an audio cable in the aux port).

My original thought was that it has the XM hardware, but just needs to be set up (and I already have an XM account -- I have XM radios in 3 vehicles). But the instructions to set up the XM were to turn on the stereo, push the XM button, and tune to channel 0 to get the radio code. As said earlier, nothing happens when I push the button.

So does the stereo still have "XM/Aux" beside the button, even if it's not XM ready? Or am I just doing something wrong?

 

*bump*

So has anyone set up the XM radio in a new model civic?

 

I would go back to the dealer and see whats up.
As far as i know, you have to have a account account that goes to your car.

 

update:

Read the manual front to back. Apparently "XM Ready" does not necessarily mean I can just set it up with the account, and start listening. Honda charges extra to install an "XM Receiver" (in other words, I have the radio, and all the bits minus the antennae), and only then can I enjoy XM. I'm going by the Honda dealership as soon as I can to find out how much it'll cost...
