We have 2 lifetime subscriptions to XM in 2009. I was told we could switch 3 times for each of them. I called to get mine switched from my old car to my newer one. (same stereo, I took it out before selling old car to put into new one) They said they couldn't do that anymore without a $75 activation fee. When they merged with Sirius they announced this on their website?

You mean like a lifetime subscription to a sports forum, and the try to charge again?

That was right in the fine print when I bought my Sirius lifetime back in 2006. It's for the life of 3 radios, $75 to activate the 2nd and 3rd ones.

I'm still on my first radio, though.

Looks like someone should have read the fine print! LOL

Wasn't in the fine print of XM....guy on phone said when they merged they added the $75 fee, like Sirius apparently already did. The professional who installed everything didn't even know of this.

Whatever it's just money.

Why would you have to activate the same stereo in a new car? Sirius doesn't give a shit what car you have it in. You can use it in as many cars as you want.

Why the fuck would you call them if you used the same stereo?
