Missing XM band

I just got a thing in the mail from sirius xm saying i have a 3 month trial of xm radio. My dealer i bought the car from told me it was xm ready but xm is not listed when i cycle through with the band button. The car is a 2006 cobalt ss/sc. Is something just not hooked up or am i missing something.

Uh, maybe on the 07+ radio...

It should be in the Band lineup on the 05-06 radio. 2 bands of FM, 1 AM, 2 bands of XM.

Dealer should be able to fix it with a Tech 2 to get it to show up. That's weird that it's not their though, because even if you don't pay for it, it's still there as the "preview" station.
