Need some help
Ok i just got my HHR about a week ago and i didn't get the premium set up, but now i want to add XM radio to it, so i went out and got the XMD1000 tuner...Now my one and only problem is finding the adapter...I have looked and looked, but nobody sells it without it being in a kit...I'm in the navy and i'm fixing to be leaving for a 7 month deployment here in a few weeks and i wanted to have everything hooked up for her before i left, so any information and where to get just the adapter would be great, Or some of you guys that are switching over to sirius might want to make some money adn sell me there old adapter would be awsome...Thanks guys

Is THIS what you are looking for? I got the part number from the XM Radio site for Panasonic radios, which is what I have been told is in the HHR's. This adapter cable is $19.99. Now I am not sure what model the stock radio is, but this might be a step in the right direction. If this is not compatible with the radio, please provide me with model number and I will continue my search. 
The following Panasonic head-units are compatible with the XMDirect* Universal Tuner Box: This is the adaptor for your panasonic, you will need the XMD 1000 to complete the Satallite system. The following Panasonic head-units are compatible with the XMDirect* Universal Tuner Box: CB8901U C9901UL C9801UL C9701UL C8401UL C8301UL C7401UL C7301UL C5401UB C5301UB C3401UB C3301UB C1401UB

The interface he seeks does not exist yet. XMDGMK fits 2005's but NOT the HHR. The thread's around here somewhere, that adaptor doesn't work with the newest generation GM radio.

As the XM adapter turns.
