I had to call them and they allowed me to remove the 'dead' one and add the new one without the activation fee and they moved the contract to the new one. That was a few years ago. May want to call and ask first.

I would think so, but I would recommend you contact Sirius and ask them or connect to a live chat.

Not very sure. I'd try like a abc warehouse or somewhere that sells radios. I've had mine for a year and is still pretty solid.

Yes. Each radio requires a subscription. I have a car with a subscription and a second one for the home/car unit. Three for two I guess.

that a no good radio also amazon will do nothing to make up for every time you have to retune the radio because it stop working. I had to send back 3 radios and spend 375.00 for reinstallingamazon did nothing. your better off going to a store near by you.

Yes, it is. But it will remain on same account. For example, I have a $12 per month subscription for my car and recently added one for my home for only an additional $9.99 per month. Best thing I ever did. Make sure to ask for all subscription options. I got the least expensive, but had to interrogate the heck out of the sales rep. :)

The radio is not XM ready. It does not have the connector or builtin control user interface. Unless your XM receiver is stabd alone with it's own control, you should look for radio that is XM ready.

I'm not sure about retaining the sat radio. my replacement radio had an input for xm radio so i bought a sat receiver.

Hi fellas! Quick question, is this a radio that a newbie would be able to learn to use, perhaps with a modest amount of instruction?If it is, Ed, would you like to sell yours? Thanks!

No, this radio will not replace an XM but has the connection in the back to integrate your XM or Sirius radio.

Ok, I mean, the signal is from XM sattelites. You have the same channels but from different sattelites. Personally I dont recomend this radio.

It sounds like you are not signed up correctly with XM. I would call them and make sure you have given them the right information. Also, you might try refreshing the radio. There is a process online for this or the XM rep can assist you.

Did you ever buy a car and pay extra for the built in radio to work? Thats what TW does to you on their rental unit. I suspect they do the same on your purchased unit. They control it with an electronic code. No code from them and no guarantee of acceptable service on your wifi. Beware!

It has a standard XM plug, so if your current radio has a XM receiver that can be unplugged from your current stereo, then you'd be good to go.

Go with the new version GEX-MP3 - Just upgrade the Firmware with a downloadable tool from XMRadio and it will be just fine - A great radio with MP3 functions - I use it everywhere and the reception is excellent. If you are an Audible book subscriber as we are - the book downloads to the GEX-XMP3 are a snap. When at home/office I connect it to my Boze Wave and the sound is great, especially the books. Get it - Amazon.com has best price in town.

Maybe, If the radio in your car is XM ready, it should work. This is just a receiver unit, it will plug into an XM ready radio, and the radio will work to change channels. It is a plug and play unit, and easily installed. the antenna plugs into the XM tuner and the tuner plugs into An XM ready radio. Check your owners manual to see what kind of radio you have. I know a lot of the Toyota's have XM ready radios. You also might check the XM website I think there is a tutorial and vehicle model check that might be helpful.

Good question...Sorry, I only have a XM radio, so I can't give you an answer. Amazon should be able to help you.

No. I'm pretty sure it is optional add on though. I had XM on my factory radio but never used it. This radio has no Xm connector on it but I'm sure u could get it. I had some issues inatalling it (because of the complexity of volkswagons) and ended up getting an additional antenna hook up which cost 50$ installed. But the guys at OttoNavi were super helpful and sent replacement parts, answered questions etc.,. If u call them before u order and explain what u want I'm sure they can help you.
