What you got regarding XM is normal. Your unit will play the audio of the last selected channel and says Initializing. After a while it tells you that your dealer can plug a receiver in to get you XM or Sirius. The same would happen with no sat receiver being installed, maybe just quicker.
With a 2nd generation sat receiver you get the preview channel 1 and can change to channel 0 which tells you your sat receiver's serial number, the one you need to register. After registering and about 20-40 minutes you see the other channels becoming available.
Your cluster coding of 19 is 16+1+2 which translates to radio+telefon. Maybe you had OnStar which is some kind of phone kit but it doesn't really matter. There where reports that it sometimes takes a while to initialize the system. It could very well be that you need to keep it locked over night to shut all systems down. But 23 is about right, or 21 if you don't have OnStar or a phone kit.
If you don't use the Bose amp/EQ powering your speakers I can see why the Bose settings didn't work to well. At least you found a setting which works for you.
Enjoy...
