Stock headunit - XM / Sirius activation?

[Eagle_XL]

I just picked up a 04 Yukon a few days ago. It's got the XM tuner built into the stock headunit... so it would make sense that I could call Sirius up and have them activate my stereo, right?

How do I get the ESN off the stock headunit so Sirius can activate it?

Tune to XM and go to channel 1...it should give you the ESN there.

Thanks for the reply! I just found this link from google too, looks like I get a free 3 months with a pre-owned GM vehicle!

Hmmm I'll try this too, Has anyone else? Do they require Credit Card Number?

I'll let you know once I set it up tonight!

I think they do now, as in if you don't call and cancel after 90 days, they start charging you.

in the past XM's 90 free trial was first, 6th and 9th month free with 1 year contract with purchase of a certified GM vehicle. Not sure if that is still the case.

I tried to do the refresh option tonight after I got my XM ID off the truck, but the website threw an error and said I had to call in. :dunno:

I called in today and spoke with customer support. I got the 3 month trial and they allowed me to complete the trial setup without providing a credit card number. They said once I called back in and supplied the CC #, I'd get an additional free month of service.

Looks like I'll be activating my radio tonight!

Hmmm. I'll call in too then. What did you say so you didnt have to give the CC #?

I didn't really have to say anything necessarily, she asked for the CC # or said I could choose to defer until a later time. What I said was I was @ work and didn't care to disclose the # over the phone at that time.

xm is great. so glad i don't have to subject myself to the crappy radio anymore.

i just called in and they took my basic info:
-Name
-Address
-Phone

And then said I'm all set for 3 months, never even asked for Credit Card Info!

 

[vatahoelt]
