Default Sat Radio Question

Hi all,

Well I let my trial subscription expire, and I paid for it on Friday night. I can not get the Sat radio to work now. I have called Sirius a few time. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

James

No, they have sent the signal several times. I have no clue what to do next. I have pulled the fuse and reinstalled it and it still hasn't come on yet.

when you are waiting for the signal are you letting it sit outside and on channel 1

Well,

Its been a week and it still isn't on. I went and saw a guy today, and he said unplug the radio directly. I did and still a no-go. So I'm thinking that the radio is bad. I have no sound on channel 184 and no volume control. It works fine on the FM and AM channels.
