No Satellite Radio Signal

Maybe I'm jumping the gun, but I just got a thing in the mail from XM saying they'd be giving me two weeks free of XM radio starting February 1st. I've had XM in the past and cancelled it about a year ago. When I scan my car with my Vag Com, I get the warning that says my tuner is not enabled/activated under the 0F-Digital Radio module.

I decided to hit the SAT button to see if it still worked, even though it hasn't been activated yet. That's when I discovered the "NO SIGNL" message, even under the preview channel. I was under the impression that it'd still pick the preview channel up even not being a current subscriber.

So, my question is, do I have a faulty satellite antenna? I don't get the 02633 error which is a short in the antenna itself.

The only error I get is this, which I believe is just a message telling you that you're not a current subscriber.

I will know on February 1st for sure if it'll pick up the channels, but I'm hoping XM/Sirius just changed the policy to not be able to pick anything up until you're a subscriber.


Any thoughts?


This is the short code, but this is from this thread, not from my car:

For what it's worth, my mom's Tiguan has the silver buttoned Premium 7 (mine is the black buttoned, 06 style) with SAT, but no subscription. When I hit SAT on it, it just displays channel 000 and 184, but no sounds either. The only thing it says is "Updating" and "Call this number." Not a "NO SIGNL" message, but I'm thinking/hoping they just changed it to have no previews unless you subscribe to them.

Yeah thats the code you get when you dont currently have sat service, but I DO still get the preview channel when I select sat radio. At least I did last time I checked, but that was months ago.

Edit: Ill go check again for you

It has no sound just like tiguan. They have changed it like you suspected. You are fine!

Had the number across the screen. I have an '07 which had the sirius module, though.

No doubt, I used to listen to the ellis show a lot. I may re-activate it. God knows they send me emails every 30 seconds with some new deal.

Yup. It used to be I'd get the activation fee waved and get it for $77 for the whole year. After this 2 week free promotion, I can get it for $25 for 6 months. I'm probably going to go for it haha.

Yes, one that's not really advertised though haha. The only issue I see with that is if they ever went out of business. I mean, I guess if it happened 3 years from now, that'd be $240 at the $80 a year rate, so it'd basically pay for itself. But, if it happened before, you're SOL unless they refund you? Doubt that too.

Yeah thats why I didn't get it. I think now that they merged they will probably be around for a while. But who knows
