We've just bought a slightly used 2007 Suburban LTZ that was pretty much loaded.

The separate owner's manual for the nav system was missing, and the OnStar documentation was missing.

How do I find the XM receiver ID so I can get an XM subscription? (I assume there is an ID associated with it... I've had Sirius systems before, and that's how they work.) Actually, another question -- are there any Sirius systems out there which will integrate with the built-in factory nav display? I greatly prefer Sirius content to XM, but I don't want to fiddle with a separate device.

I'm trying to decide if I'm going to subscribe to OnStar and buy hands-free minutes, or whether I'm going to pick up one of those TellPhone 5000vi devices and use my regular phone. I do plan to buy a GMX320 lockpick from coastaletech.com. I'd love to hear recommendations and opinions on both sides. I don't much care about the OnStar services themselves, I just want hands-free with decent vehicle integration. Or is there a better way to integrate my Bluetooth phone (currently a Treo 650) with the touchscreen and hands-free equipment in the truck? One big concern I have about the OnStar approach is the pain of keeping my address book and phone numbers in synch.

Thanks in advance for any and all input...

channel 0 or1 should give you the radio ID

 

Thanks. It looks like Sirius made a device for earlier model-year GM products (SiriusConnect for Class 2 Bus GM Vehicles, 2003-2006), so I guess if the merger doesn't stimulate the execs to new heights of greed, maybe there is hope.

Weird. It says 07 Suburbans are supported:

But when I enter my VIN or choose the drop-down, I get this:
"We're sorry, but we are unable to process your request at this time. Please try again later. "

Someone else sent me this link and I also get an error when I enter my VIN here:

You need to wait up to 8 weeks after purchasing the vehicle before your VIN will register on these sites.

 

Most of us had to call in to get registered.I had mine for almost a year and couldn't get in.

Hope that problem has been worked out.

 

Ah. Thanks. I called in my VIN the other day. Oh well.
8 weeks from now the replacement manuals the dealership ordered will be here.

 

Now that I think about it, the site shows the same error even if I don't enter a VIN -- it has the option of entering just Chevrolet / Suburban / 2007, with no other identifying information... that seems a bit odd.
