Default XM Radio module installation

I just got done installing a XM module that I bought off a member of this forum. I talked to a mechanic at a Harley dealer and he siad once I installed the module the radio would recognize it being there and I wouldn't have to do anything to the radio. Well I have the thing all hooked up now and my radio doesn't see the XM module.

So does anyone know what I might have done wrong or do I need to have the radio flashed for it to see the XM module?

Thanks

Got it figured out. The instructions I got didn't say anything about which connectors to connect. So I had only plugged in the XM radio connector. I hadn't plugged in the innerconnect plug. It is now WORKING!!!! This is GREAT!!! Now I have a reason to turn it on in my truck too.
