Default XM problems

Took delivery Dec. 9, 2013 and have only been able to get XM to play twice. It displays XM may be blocked. I can call up the weather, but not XM. I'm always out in the open when I try it so the "blocked" message is confusing. Any advice?

Call the 1-888 phone number listed on the XM brouchre that came with your new C7. They will get you & your new car squared away in minutes.

It is interesting that you are not getting reception. Depending on what trim level you have with your C7 will determine if you get 3 months or a 1 year subscription to XM. It is free with the vehicle and the dealer is responsible for its activation as the dealer or GM pay for it. You should talk to the dealer 1st before calling XM. They may try to make you pay for the subscription.

Also if you do call XM don't give them your credit card # unless they agree that it will be a one time charge. That's another discussion but enjoy anyway

This. I was having a problem with this as well. I called and within 2-3 minutes while I was parked in a mall parking lot they sent a reset signal and no problems since.
