Ok, I ordered the isgm655 thinking my truck had the xm ready radio. Turns out it don't. What are my options here? When I hook up the isimple it gives me aux1 and aux2 I can't access the blue tooth or iPod or any of the inputs it should have. I posted this on DMAX forum and a guy says his worked fine without an xm ready radio.
Here's my other post on it, not much more info there

Did some googling this morning and saw someone's post where their connector wasn't fully seated. Took a look at mine, and they were either. Pushed them in and everything works now. Works as advertised. And to reiterate, my head unit is a 6 disc non Bose with no XM button.

Ya, I only saw AM, FM (1 and 2 maybe), and AUX 1 & 2 but no XM. I thought the plugs were seated all the way but the clips weren't engaged and was .25-.5" out maybe. The tolerances on the plugs must not be the best because I had to push pretty hard and while rocking it from side to side. Once I did that, the XM menu for the IGM showed up when cycling through the sources. Once the XM shows up, then I could cycle through the inputs like bluetooth, ipod, etc. Didn't have to flash anything.
