On Star
So I looked at the OnStar website and it stated that my 05 Silverado should have OnStar but my rear view mirror doesn't have the controls (just compass/temp buttons). The steering wheel has the icon of a dude talking. When I press that all it does is mute the radio. Anyone else have the same configuration?

check behind the glove compartment for a silver box with 2 coax cables going to it, and a couple other connectors. If you don't see it right away, then the truck probably wasn't built with onstar

I do have the box behind the g-box. But apparently the controls are on the mirror (the mirror that my truck does not have). What are my options form here?

do you have a blue coax connector on that box? or is it a light green almost yellow color?
if it is green it is your xm reciever. If you are 100% sure its onstar, it may be just a matter of getting a new rearview mirror and plugging it in.
I would get one from the scrapyard to save some dough

found out a couple days later she was at the I-15 105 mile marker IN UTAH
