You guys realize that the 6 months free has to be activated? In other words once it stops working you can activate the 6 months free after that. All they need is your VIN.

I called Sirius because I didn't realize that the sat was already working. The rep told me that it was already functioning under some Mitsubishi account. He told me that I didn't have to activate the 6 months free, and told me to call them to activate it when it stops working.

 

Spoonie - really? I guess I just kinda assumed that they activated it when you bought the car. Mine ran out at 6 months pretty much exactly.

 

Lucky you!

 

i'd stop complaining right about......................................now. lol lucky you

 

Mine started working all on it's own about a week after buying the car. I've never registered, talked to Sirius, etc and it's been on for about 1.4 years now...

 

Call sirius.

 

Yeah mine just ran out, got the 'call this number' message...

Haha I'll stick to my iPod

 

anther trick i have learned is.... you have to know the exact date your sirius will end (get it by calling) then a week before the subscription is up, go behind your glove back and unplug the antenna. and leave it unplugged for 2-3 months.. then plug it back in. they have to send a deactivation signal for it to cancel. they send the signal for 60 days if i remember correctly. then after the time frame plug it back in. and viola! you should have sirius back... my buddy did it with his car and it worked like a charm.. he has had sirius for months now for free.... so ill give this a go in feb. when mine cuts out.. well so how it goes for me

 

Wow that sounds like a really smart idea, too bad mine is already expired, Someone needs to wake up and post with me, I can't sleep.

 

Same here. Right at about 6 months is when it stopped working. Oh well, I didn't listen to it all that much anyway. iPod ftw!
