I recently received a letter from SiriusXM for a FREE 3 month trial. I took the bait and started the on line sign up process prepared to back out when the CC form showed up. They claimed no strings attached and so far so good, they didn’t ask for a CC number.Out to the truck I went and all was well for about a minute when it started to sound like a dragging 8-track tape. Then it sounded like an AM fringe signal. Just won't work.Anyone using SiriusXM with an old (10 year)factory system? I sure cant.I might as well add that I had it when I bought the truck and it worked fine.

I have had to call customer service and have them walk me through some procedures while I was in the truck. Also, they told me not to turn the knob to select a channel, but use the up/down buttons on the radio (just FYI.) Did you try turning the engine off, for the old count of 10, and then starting vehicle back up and trying the radio again?

Have a couple of Pioneer Innos thst are at least 10 years old. Still working fine.

When it come time to either get your subscription. Deal with them. You can get 6 months for 45 dollars. they will take it rather than lose you.

It's a factory system with a factory Sirius module behind the glove box. I've disconnected and reconnected the power and it updates but still falls flat on it's face.The module is probably shot the way the audio slows down.

Anyone using SiriusXM with an old (10 year)factory system? I sure cant.Still fine and dandy.Actually like it better than system in 2012 Subaru.Although it is now Sirius, originally was XM.

I had the add-on module fail. They are only $35 on Amazon. Pretty cheap troubleshooting.

We have a lifetime subscription on a boombox that we initially purchased for XM Radio before they merged and became Sirius. Works great. Love it for dry camping.

I get daily emails, 6 months for $29.94, $4.99 a month for Sirius Select. Maybe $45 for All Access?

I’ve gotten 6 months for $19.95. They’ll negotiate if you will.
BTW, my 2007 2500 Dodge has the base radio with factory XM, the only problem I’ve had is losing reception occasionally near trees. I don’t have this problem with my 2018 Camry. They also updated my firmware.
