Where is your satellite radio antenna? Not sure who installed the radio, but the satellite radio antenna does not always come with the sat ready radios. The antenna is usually an accessory that needs to be purchased and installed separately.

I just re-read your post. I believe you have the factory installed sat radio. The sat receiver is located between the radio and the glove compartment. The radio bezel, the radio, a cubby, and the glove compartment need to come out in order to have access to it. I'd take a look in there and make sure all the cables are connected.
