XM module

[cmilek]

I have a 2007 tahoe that I bought used a while ago. When I first got it and put the nav disc in, it showed the XM tab when scrolling through audio, but it said there was a problem. After about having it for 2 weeks it disappeared. I've just kinda forgotten about it through the years. Recently I pulled my glovebox down and realized that the XM module was missing. Apparantely the previous owner removed the XM module before selling it to me! I have no idea how all of that works, so I am not sure if I have to try to find the exam part that was in my car or if I can get any brand/part # XM module. Since my tahoe is obviously capable of XM since the nav system recognized that there was XM, I don't know if I have to get a particular kind or not. Can someone please help me with this??
Thanks so much!

Wish I knew. I just bought a 2007 Tahoe last Wednesday. XM worked fine for two days. Now screen shows "Preview" for every channel. Had no clue there was a chip in the glove box.

It's an XM module for a 2007 chevy tahoe?

 

[airplaneman777]

Yes

Is anything wrong with it and do i just have to simply put it in the case like structure behind the glove box and plug it in?

 

[airplaneman777]

That's all you have to do. Plug and play. It works perfect

but I have heard through numerous people that you would have to bring it to a dealership to have them "flash" it before it will work in another vehicle with a different vin# than the one it was originally with?

Not true. Its just the radio that has to get flashed, not the xm module. The module is just plug and play
