I installed my pioneer 8100NEX and idatalink maestro in my 2008 yukon denali, everything works perfect except for the XM tuner has no sound.

I can see the station that is playing but cannot hear anything, I programmed the RR to retain all factory features including XM.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled, updated firmware on the 8100NEX and reflashed the idatalink maestro unit to no avail.

No factory nav or backup camera, but I do have bose sound package.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

This might be a silly question but did you call XM to have them switch the service from your factory radio to your new radio?

Hmmm, I didn't think anything changed by switching the head unit, I still have the same factory receiver for XM, my XM serial is the same, figured it wouldn't need anything special....

Am I wrong?

Do not know anything about idatalink but guessing it is an interface between the aftermarket radio and factory components, if this is the case I would guess it is the problem.
