Can YOU get the free stations? Audio menu/Sat Radio screen says;

Your Sirius ID #:
..... aaaaand my ID # is totally blank. Tech support SAID they checked their "handbook" and my VIN and then said that no 2010 XKR can get their "FREE LISTENING CHANNEL". They DID offer to sell me a no-discount year subscription to their regular channels, as those DO work.
I tried this last year also when S/XM had the same promotion, but I thought that MAYBE since I updated my Nav Disk, hence the 'firmware', that maybe something would be different. Oh well.

I decided to find the Sirius Module (in the boot above the NAV Module) and get the ID from there. Contacted Sirius and they activated a Three month Free Trial. When the Sat signal hit, the ID popped up on the screen. It would appear that it had just never been activated, ever.
Anyone else have a 2009 XKR that gets Sirius? Stuart S?

Evidently Sirius sells telephone numbers to telemarketers. THREE DAYS after I gave Sirius my tel#, my phone started exploding with sales and scam calls. At least ten a day. I block them when a new number comes up, but it's as annoying as hell!
As it turns out anyway, I listened to Sirius for a couple hours, mostly TRYING to find something decent, but end up back on my Flash Drive every time. I have it for another almost three months, but I don't see it improving.
I personally see Sirius as a waste of money, even when it's free. But, now I know.

Sirius has it's place with many listeners, but with 5 vehicles the cost is too much on annual basis to have Sirius in all the vehicles.

Sirius broadcast quality
Anyone know what it is? I don't believe that it is totally uncompressed, but I don't think that it's mp3 either.
I have it in my Hyundia Genesis and with the Lexicon system it sounds pretty good. My wife has it in her Lincoln and the sound is "flangy" for want of a better expression. It's not distorted, but it's not quite right and not like my Genesis. I'm thinking that it is her Sirius decoder or whatever it would be called, as FM and CD doesn't have the same issue.
Anyway, back to the Jag, do the mp3s that you play through the USB sound like Sirius? I'd bet that if you compared the CD and the mp3 version even in the Jag, that you would hear a difference, unless of course your are at WOT.

It takes literally six minutes to remove the module, take a photo of the ID# and reinstall it. I went to the Sirius website and used the New/Used Car Free Trial and got three months free. But DO NOT include a telephone number (at least a real one) or you will be inundated by unwanted calls!
