Cobalt XM stereo question

Aight hows it going?

Im Knightmare (Matt) and I'm new here obviously anyway I just purchased a 2007 SS Cobalt yesterday and it came with the whole XM schpelle However in my Suburban and Ford Escape I have Sirius satellite radio (used and aftermarket kit). Is there any way to change from XM to Sirius without going aftermarket, b/c the kits look ugly and this car is nice. I know that XM and Sirius are going to eventually merge, but I can't wait 1 -2 yrs. So does anyone have a suggestion? The reason is because I like sirius and its extremely cheap to add another car then go to XM.

No. You would need sum type of after market kit.

Are you sure that's for the 07? I know it is for the 05 and 06, but I need to know for an 07. Basically I bought an 07 without XM installed because my buddy has a factory xm tuner off of his 04 Colorado that he doesn't use. I know the factory stereo is XM ready for the 07 Cobalt and from what I am told, it should be as simple as finding the harness (which should be where the XM tuner is) plugging it in and putting an XM antenna up. I know I can buy an after market XM unit from Terk, but if I can use the factory tuner my buddy has for nothing, I'd much prefer that. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
