this radio does have XM capabilities, its the JVS KD-L1000. Its a sweet deck. I got the antenna problem fixed though. Down by the steering column i found where the coxial cable came in from the antenna and followed it until i came across a place where it plugs into what seems to be an extender. I unplugged it and plugged it in again, but didnt work....then i pulled it out a little and turned it and bingo the reception picked up. Then just carefully pushed it back up into place.
