Default Sirius Tuner add on

I have a 2008 F150 with the factory radio. Single disc, mp3, no dvd or amp and sub.
I purchased the Sirius factory tuner and harnesses from my local Ford dealer. Everything seems to work except no audio. I have talked to Sirius and they say they dont know. I have unplugged everything and tried again and still no audio.
Has anyone added this kit to their factory radio?
Any suggestions would be very helpful.

Thanks Badcat...
I talked to Ford dealer about this and was told that the black boxes have had some problems. They ordered me a new one and I am going to try that.
Hope it works because I like the factory look better than a seperate controler.

Make sure the channel on your tuner matches the channel on your radio. Also, I had better results with direct antenna connection. About $30.
