When you call to activate your radio, explain to them that its a TCH and they will give you 90 day free trial!

Also, I got a call to see if i wanted to buy XM, i said not yet, I am still under free trial, and I will think about it, i was giving 3 add'l months!

 

This is true.



XM came with the car, it had a $55.00 gift card that came with it. I called XM and told them nothing about the $55.00 card. I told them I just got m TCH and it came with XM, I asked if there was a deal they could give me.



They gave me 3 months free and free activation. I still had that $55.00 card to use once the 3 months were up.



XM was crap IMO; I really didn't like anything they offered. Most the stations or type of stations were also on Sirius (CNN, Dance, 80's and so on) The music Sirius plays, Dance and 80's is different IMO to what XM plays (a different style) and Sirius has the NFL. NOTHING ON XM I HAD TO HAVE.



I called Sirius and told them it came with the car, it sort of did. It wasn't an add on as it connected to the Toyota HU just like XM. Sirius gave me 3 months free, free Internet listening and no activation fee.

SIRIUS

3 months free service with Monthly Subscription
Free Internet Streaming Master


Ok, some might ask why I wasted all those free months of XM, as I said... I didn't like any of it so why keep something I don't like. I am so happy with Sirius, even if the NFL went to XM I'm not sure I would switch. I might get both but wouldn't give up Sirius.

 

Wait so the same built in receiver works for sirius as well?

sweet!

 

it's either or. If you want Sirius you have to take out all the XM stuff and install Sirius.

 

When I called XM they asked me the Id of the radio. She said that it should say it on Channel 0. Does any one know what Channel 0 means here? Or Do we need to add additional XM equipment/hardware before we can call XM?
Thanks.

 

Tune into channel 0 and you might have to hit the text button a few times but a code should come up. SHe is looking for that code on channel 0.

 

As I think about it, the first time I called Sirius they told me they had no special offers. I didn't believe that so I called back when everything was hooked up and that is when I talked to someone else and got the deal I have now.
