    So the bulbs burn out in your radio display and you want a new radio? Thats like having your tail light burning out and scrapping your whole car...

    You should be able to use the stock XM antenna. You would have to mount your new XM module where the stock one is and you may have to remove the plastic cover on the stock antenna end to make it fit. I have done this on many newer GM vehicles and have not any problems. One last note is you will want a XM that's a hide-a-way piece not one you mount on the windshield or dash. Evan

    That is an interesting analogy there, but why don't you show me how to put a lightbulb in an lcd radio display.

    Ask and you shall receive.

    This link shows the older style GP radios, and yours is the same concept, except I believe your style has 3 bulbs.

    You are correct that it is LCD display, but the backlight shines thru it so you can see the display.

    Radio Lamp Repair

    Not sure how to dismantle the newer radios, but Im guessing its not too difficult.

    Of course you dont have to listen to me, Im just being a cheap ass, but thats the link if you decide to do it.

    Hope this helps.
