Default Problem renewing XM.

Has anyone had this problem?

I'm trying to renew my service. Went to station zero and got the radio ID code. Called the number...told the computer what the code was. Computer correctly reads it back to me and says the code is invalid. I have about 4 hours of boring driving tomorrow morning and am looking to get this thing going. I wait for an operator....forever...forget that. I threw out the paperwork that they sent me to renew because I figured why would I need it. I checked and rechecked the code. Anyone have a similar issue when renewing?



thanks
-Gene

Default Sure did....

I just recently renewed for 2 years( I happen to like the oldie music) but on the first two calls, I spent about 35 minutes and got NOWHERE! Frustrated as hell, I decided to try one more time-and guess what?!! Third time is definitely a charm! Got it renewed in less than 10 minutes-finished, Whalaah, done, ende! Go figure! But the c/s was not good at all during the renewal process.

what sucked was I had to sit in the car on station 1 to get XM to renew itself.

i'm sitting here in my underwear at 11:30pm and it's POURING (yes it sits in my driveway). he's like ok now go put it on station 1. im like ok ill do it in the AM. he's like you have to do it now for the signal to work.

:sigh:



well i've got the nav set...the XM setup...full tank of gas...all black and 489 at the wheels. Should be a fun trip


goodnight all.
