OEM Sirius not working after brief cancellation
Hi, I recently purchased an '08 E90 with OEM Sirius installed. I was listening to Sirius during the test drive so I know the receiver works. Three weeks after purchasing the car I have tried to re-activate the service without success. I have had the signal sent to me several times and my receiver never seems to pick it up. I have the receiver on channel 184, but all I get is a screen that has the ESN number and instructions to contact Sirius.
Sirius is convinced that it is a problem with my receiver and I need to take it to the dealer to get it fixed. I am not sure that this would do anything but waste my time. So my questions are: Do I really need to take it in at this point, and will the dealer be able to anything more than tell me its a Sirius problem? Is there something that needs to be re-set or re-programmed after the previous owner canceled/transferred his subscription? Thanks! |

Yes, you probably need to take it to the dealer. If Sirius has tried several times to activate it with the proper code, the only logical thing left is a faulty Sirius module. If there is any doubt about whether it's Sirius or the module, the dealer can sort that out.
I had a bad one replaced on my RS4 by the dealer under warranty.

I guess I'll take it it then, hope they don't have to take apart too much of the dash to get at it. I would hate to get Sirius working at the expense of adding an interior squeak.
Its funny how it just stopped working. I thought maybe the ESN number was blocked or something because of the previous owner. Thanks |

Thanks.
I was searching around the internet, and from what I understand i should be able to hear something when I am tuned to channel 184. Since I dont hear anything its probably a faulty connection to the antenna. |
