Hi gang...

Recently picked up my new GTS and gotta say I absolutely LOVE it!

Unfortunately, there's some confussion about the Sirius sat radio... Is it or is it not in the system already? If not, what is needed to get it going? etc...

Before we go further... I am in Canada, and it's a Canadian model.

I already have an active sat account (US version) and want to transfer it over...

Anyone know anything??? I've been given conflicting information from the dealer, Mitsu Canada, Sirius, and Mitsu USA...

Thanks!

to activate the new one, you must call the number displayed on the screen and then read the activation number to them(also on the screen) and you are good to go within 5-10 minutes. about transferring, i would call them i don't know anything about that this is my first time with satellite radio and i love it.

Hi gts-in-nj,

I did read that in the manual, problem is, my system reads "Sat Error" and won't allow me to get the ID#... Hence my concern if my car even has the receiver in it!

Some say yes, some say no!

Do you have the sun and sound package? It looks like it only as sirius with the package.

cruzzrr

Yes, absolutelt have the suna and sound pakage and what a system!!

masterpain

Maybe they do not offer it in the Canadian version. I am not sure, sorry.

masterpain

Looking at the ca website they do not say anything about the sirius. I do not think you have it . Glad to hear you like the package I am waiting for delivery from my dealer.

It's probably sat radio ready and probably requires a seperate receiver plus antenna. Check your owner's manual to see if it says anything.

It's listed as preinstalled on Lancers on Sirius' website.

Manual doesn't say anything except how to access the ID# - which following the instructions, will not work!

Again, lot's of conflicting information as to what is or is not neeed!!

Frustrating!

Bring it back to the dealer. Sounds like a bad antenna/not hooked up antenna

If there was no system in the car (Sirius) it would not give you any trouble code.

I agree. If you can get the activation code your car has Sirius installed. As I recall, you hit the mode button, select Sirius, and as I recall you then look for the Settings button. Either way it should be tuned to station 184 and the display has the number for Sirius. You call them, they'll guide you through how to set it up. If it's having problems they'd know better than any of us what the problem is.

Given that the satellites are in geosynchronous orbit I don't see any reason why someone in Canada can't get Sirius. Line of sight is a big deal - make sure when you call that you've got a signal (clear view of the southern sky, plus the little doggie will have a line through it if the signal is no good).

cruzzrr

That's the problem!!! I CAN'T get te activation code!!! The rest is easy and I know how to activate it... but as I said above... the system reads "Sat Error" and will NOT allow me to change the station to 184 or anything!

Needless to say I am very frustrated by this!

CrazyOkie

Have you called Sirius? That's who's going to be able to help you. I would recommend you do it by cell phone so you can sit in the car while they talk to you. You don't need the activation code to call them.

cruzzrr

I called them... They couldn't help me.

Take the car back to service. I feel like I am giving you homework now.

Either your antenna is ****ed or the Sirius software is ****ed.
