I am a lifetime member of Serius. I plan to purchase a new Nissan Cube which offers a radio advertised as ready to accept XM. Does this now mean Serius XM?

your xm account doesnt recognize the new radio

Without knowing what year make and model of vehicle you have, it makes it kind of hard to answer for certain. But it sounds as if you are on a satellite service as the source and it is requesting your subscription information. Serviced like Sirius and XM radio is often offered as a demo with new vehicle purchase, but require a paid subscription for continued service.

No fix, you will need the dealer to have the radio pulled and checked.

There's a few people on eBay that repair sirius radios in general. The only real way to save your lifetime sub is to take your XM Radio ID chip (containing the lifetime sub info), and place it in a new radio. You'd probably also need to find a working radio if you'd like that repair done (which isn't nearly as easy as I made it sound).

Turn on your XMP3i radio and place it where you have an excellent signal, and power, so you're not relying on only the battery. Tune the XMP3 to Channel 0 to get your serial number, write it down, then tune the radio to Channel 1 and leave it there. Then, call XM Customer Service and explain that you're paying for B.O.S. and then ask XM to send a 'refresh signal' to your radio - that might take a half hour or so, but it should then add the extra channels that you're paying for. Ask then how long to leave the radio on Channel 1 and they'll let you know. Good luck, and let me know how it goes for you. Happy New year too!

I had the same problem. My 2008 Hyundai Azera had 37,800 and my wife went over a speed bump the XM radio went off and displayed "Not Ready". I raised the hood, pulled the negative battery cable for about a minute, replaced it and fixed the problem. Only issue is, this happens every couple of days. I'll probably continue to do this till my xm subscription runs out then to heck with it.

un plug the xm antenna and plug the radio antenna in by it self you should get radio signal

Looks like my company is going to purchase a new fm radio for the company truck, I should be able to plug the xm radio into it.

"XM Ready" means that you have to have a satelite radio installed in order to have XM service. I went through this when buying my 2005 CR-V and thought that all I needed was to set up the service. If you have an XM receiver installed you can controll it on your Honda factory radio. It is very misleading.
