select the band button and it will cycle the modes 2fm 1am and 2XM modes

edit: selecting source will only go to the cd player

the antanna by rights dosn't have to be installed at all does it for you to be able to access XM through band

if so i can re check teh wires

can some one confirm that if they unhook the xm antanna they can get into teh xm 1 and 2 band?

you should still have the modes to select but I doubt you can receive a signal very well without the satellite antenna installed

Like I said in your original thread asking if the decks are the same, I really doubt the deck is the exact same. The decks that have XM from the factory probably have some internal differences.
