Congrats...you will love it. The 65 is an exponential jump from the 500.

Ran into the same thing with mine. Look thru the command manual and the respective 800 # is listed for u to call n activate sat radio.

All SLs have the SAT button. You also need the receiver box and antenna, it's about $1000 from the dealer and not much cheaper anywhere else. The way to tell if you actually have the SAT radio installed is to either press the button and you get message telling you how to activate or look for the antenna. The antenna is usually mounted in the center of the trunk.
