    it worked on the way home from the dealer the day i bought it (new year's day)

    did they just press a button to make it work?

    will it really shut off April 1st?

    What's funny is they do a poor job of monitoring that I think haha. My dad had an '08 F-350 with Sirius and he had satellite radio forever, never had to pay for it. He now has a new Tundra. He loves it but misses the diesel power a bit I think.

    There is a card that should have come with your vehicle which lists all of the channels. There is a website you can visit to "refresh" your trial subscription. Follow the directions on the card to reactivate your free trial.
