cluscher Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I bought my GT500 from a forum member six months ago, and he purchased a lifetime SIRIUS membership when he owned the car. I got in the car the other day and Sirius doesn't come on anymore? Before I call them, anybody else have this experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08 snake Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 Is it possible the sirius membership wasn't transferable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stngfever Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 All really depends on the symptoms. A week or two after my 6 month subscription ran out, worked good on my car for one Saturday when I took it out of winter hibernation for one day. I thought I would have one that Sirius "forgot" about. Then 2 weeks later took car out of storage for good and now get no signal. Contacted sirius thinking I had to renew my subscription. Still didn't work after numerous attempts. Then spoke to a friend with one that they didn't renew and it stopped after 6 months. His display showed for him to call Sirius to renew and it showed an 800 number to call. Mine shows No signal after searching for one. Goes into dealer in tomorrow for further diagnoses as Sirius is telling me the Sirius unit needs replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500FLYBOY Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I also have the lifetime Sirius membership. I believe I can transfer it up to 3 times - to other vehicles or other Sirius equipment - of my own. I don't know that I can transfer the membership to another owner.

08SGT1977 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I have 2 Sirius lifetime subscriptions and was jamming out on the way home in my Mustang just a few moments ago. I thought the subscription was tied to the radio... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHELBY1 Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I took a life time membership as well......mine is not working......what gives????? I also have a lifetime membership to Sirius. When I took my Shelby GT500 out of winter storage, mine didn't work either. I had the call Sirius # on the display screen. All i had to do is call them and have them resend a signal to start up the radio again. All they needed was the ESN# from the radio or a VIN# from the vehicle that was subscribed. In no time, my SAT radio was back in action. I have a feeling it might be tied to the Sirius/XM merger but am not sure. The # to call Sirius at is 1-888-539-7474.

idrathergolf Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I bought my GT500 from a forum member six months ago, and he purchased a lifetime SIRIUS membership when he owned the car. I got in the car the other day and Sirius doesn't come on anymore? Before I call them, anybody else have this experience? This happened to me as well. I purchased the car used with about 5,000 miles. About a year and half went by and then the SR went silent. I called Sirius and explained I bought the car used. They asked for a unit number (ESN#), which you can get by pushing a few buttons on the unit, and I got my service back. I don't think you have any big issue here, just call Sirius, and I'm sure you will get your service back just as I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idrathergolf Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 What buttons for the esn number??? I don't recall. I believe I got by going through the menu that shows the system information. I can't be more exact because my car is in the shop right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Kocon 2417 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 What is the cost of a lifetime subscription? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHELBY1 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 What is the cost of a lifetime subscription? It was $399. Now it's $499. I looked it up on the Sirius website recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FordRocks1 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 My service in my SGT went out about a week ago and I will not renew it, why you may ask? Well first is that there is a six in dash CD player, free radio and my I-phone can hook up to the aux and I jam free music from Pandora or whatever I downloaded on my I-phone. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whammer Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Well the service is not tied to the car- the person who subscibed to Sirrius owns the service. So one possibility is the original owner of the car transferred the service over to another car. Like someone already posted you can transfer 3 or 4 times for free. So give Sirrius a call and see if your car is still subscribed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SicShelby Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Was there as TSB out for Sirius? I was at the dealer the other day when the Shelby went in for the clutch, and it seemed like there was one on Sirius, but I can't remember exactly. But hey, the engine is music enough to my ears!! In fact... I got so many calls from Sirius to renew my subscription that I eventually had to tell them that I totaled the car! No more phone calls...

I can't see myself paying for radio service. I think the MP3 jack works great with my phone and my wife's IPOD. Plus 6 CD's in dash good enough. When my service is turned off(should be in May), I think I will invest in a HD tuner. Free HD radio, all you need is the tuner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
