Do you have a test light and do you have you stereo out. I think constant power is either Grey or blue/yellow but test them with a light to make sure.

Above the fuses there are five spade terminals. From the left, the first two are constant, the third one is powered when the key is in IG2 The last two are also switched and are protected by fuse #19
I have XM myself and it rocks (I even have a little XM stock)
I mounted the controller in the headliner between the sun visors to keep it out of sight from theiving eyes.
If you have the pioneer unit you need to press the reset button whenever it gets disconnected from constant power. This little issue caused me a fair ammount of cursing when I installed mine.
Good luck!
