I took delivery of a 2006 9-3 Aero on August 1, 2006 with dealer installed XM and have experienced none of the problems described. I traded a 2005 Accord EX V6 Coupe with factory XM, which was fully integrated with the car's sound system, and could not live without XM. I was disappointed that the XM antenna was magnetically attached to the roof behind the factory antenna and the wire was fed through the rear window weatherseal. It looks amateurish but works fine. I was told that the XM uses the AUX input which has a plug in the center console but I had no intention of ever using that so no problem. Since yours still works with iPOD I suspect that the XM output was not connected properly. The XM, FM, and CD all sound equally good in my car and require no bass or treble adjustments though you have to turn up the volume a bit to fully appreciate the 300-watt 13 speaker system. The bass is solid and clear and yes, some of the rear speakers act as subwoofers. I am a longstanding audio fan with a home theatre setup and know what a good system should sound like. I think your car is suffering from a combination of perhaps a defective or poorly installed/connected amplifier and clearly improperly installed XM. Good luck.
