Default So my Sirius satellite trial ended and.......

I waited to the very last second to renew. I get a prompt on my screen that says to call a toll free number to subscribe. I did, yet there is no signal and it still says to call the toll free number. The Sirius rep said I need to go to an Audi service tech to do a "hard reset." Is this true? I looked in the manual and it doesn't show how I can do it myself. Anyone else experience this?

Default Similar thing happened to me...

Apparently something got messed up during the transition, because I when I would log into the Sirius website my tuner wasn't even listed on my account. I had to call in to get it straightened out, and then after resending the activation signal it started to work again.

I would try calling Sirius again and have them send the activation signal again. Make sure you are outside with a good view of the sky. The activation signal is not as strong as the normal broadcast signal so you have to make sure your reception is good for it to work.

Sirius to XM in the MK2 is not an easy swap

Default With the merge moving forward, you'll be getting XM programs on the Sirius...

Reverse is also true for those with XM.

On the Sirius side, we'll get 11 of the top XM stations to start.<ul><li><a href="http://www.orbitcast.com/archives/sirius-postmerger-line-up.html">Sirius postmerger line up</a></li></ul>
