XM Satellite Radio

I bought my 2008 Silverado last year, noticed that I have the xm magnet antenna on the roof. Traced lead to behind passenger glove box.
My radio will not select XM at all, pressing "BAND" button only toggles between FM/AM.
OnStar said vehicle was not equipped, so I guess what I am asking is the magnet antenna above driver door part of the stock equipment and radio it self is messing up? or that an aftermarket antenna to be used with a separate xm reciever?
I called dealership and they dont know what I am talking about.

thanks kevin, i have an external sirius unit, i guess ill hook that up for now...
i guess this is a totally different topic, but maybe youd know off hand... i know there is an adaptor to go from xm antenna to match sirius recievers, but cant i just splice the two together? i mean they are just wires right?
