how long will my XM sat radio work for?

is it like a year for free? forgot to ask lol

 

i bought my truck back in september of 2009 and i still have the xm for free. i think they forgot to turn it off

but i think it was only supposed to be for 3 months.

 

I assume 3 months.it was that for wifes pontiac

 

thats awesome!

 

yup 3 months. and in the mean time you will get 100 offers in the mail.

 

oh great.

 

If you enjoy it, add it then call to cancel... On my wifes Audi, we never paid over $5 a month. They were always extending the deals.

BTW, congrats on the new truck!

 

i get mailers all the time for 5 months for 20 dollars....i just keep calling back for that special every time it expires.

 

yup

when i bought the truck, it was the first 2010 that the dealer got and it was only on their lot for 10 hours before i drove it off. i dont think they had a chance to enter it all in the system and i bet they overlooked the XM. from an XM perspective, i bet they still think the truck is on the lot. i have never received any offers in the mail. i am going to keep my mouth shut and see how long it lasts

 

I had mine for 90 days them xm contacted me and offered me 6 months for $30! I jumped on it. I love it!

 

is there a way to use the steering wheel controls to change the stations on xm? or do you have to use the knob? it seems when i use the steering wheel controls it changes it to like fm am ect

 

Best feeling in the world. Comcast went 2 years before they ever billed us for high speed internet.

 

yes, but you have to set the preset channels for it to work. setting the presets on the XM radio is the same as you would for the FM radio. tune to the station you want and hold down a preset number (1-6). the channel up and down buttons on the steering wheel will now control the XM presets. it wont switch from the group of presets (you get 3 groups of 6 channels), but at least you can change the channel on each preset grouping.
