XM Radio
I purchased a 08 HHR 2LT in November. XM radio was not on window sticker and I don't have XM. On the rear roof I have a XM antenna base. There is a hole in the base to secure an antenna. I'm just wondering why this HHR came with the antenna base.

That is curious ???!!!!! And you say, you DO NOT have XM on the stciker or indiated on the radio. Did you buy the vehicle new from a GM dealer? Maybe they can answer it.
If you purchased used...maybe its a rental with a GPS antenna. I noticed several in rental fleets with the GPS antenna in the back.

Your OnStar may be working, just not very well without the mast.

Sparky......
Found this in GM Tech Info. It appears you have this antenna and the dealer didn't provide (don't know if they routinely do) the complete antenna.
Hope this helps...
A new OnStar or combination OnStar/XM antenna is being used on a wide variety of vehicles in 2006.
If the improper procedure is used to remove the mast, the base may be broken or the mast may be gouged.
A hidden locking tab must be depressed to remove the mast from the antenna base (fig. 9 and 10). Insert a small screwdriver between the mast and the base to depress the locking tab while turning the mast to unthread it from the base.
