sirius sat trial code?

[Int3grity]

I have the sirius sat module it came when I purchased the car is this thing supposed to come with a trial code? or have I been cheated?

Hell for xmradio on my other car there was a trial code when buying that car.

Just plug the ESN into the sirius website or tell them over the phone. Sirius has the informatiion, not Mazda, though you woudl think that the salesmen or manual would mention this.

It comes with a complimentary 6 month subscription, that activates when you call the 1-800 number. They'll ask you at that time, if you wish to extend that subscription, beyond the complimentary 6 months. That's your choice, but if you do accept, then they'll ask for a CC number.

Otherwise, you can renew when the 6 months expires.

Correct - it was painless to get it activated.

One phone call. They didn't ask for ANY personal info from me other than the "number" on my Sirius radio (I guess it corresponds to the unit) and BINGO. I got it activated. And you don't need to do it right away - it was a month before I looked into it.

Mine will expire some time in April.

I subscribed for 2 years, but got 6 months free from Mazda plus 3 months free from Sirius, so I'll end up getting 24 months for the cost of 15. Of course, that was the same day Sirius and XM announced plans to merge, so we'll see what happens.

For the original poster: The number he's referring to is located on a sticker in the SIRIUS user's manual you should have gotten with your car's documentation. The phone number for SIRIUS is also in that manual.

nope - it's the number you get when you press the appropriate on-screen button - it displays there.

i got it activated 6 months free

What i dont like is that it does not automatically scroll like my delphi xm radio
instead i have to turn the knob to see artist then press to see song name then turn to scroll that name then press again till i get the channel # before i can turn the channel.

Just make sure you get all the right information ... The day that I got my Sirius installed, they showed me the book with the numbers printed/written in the back. On the way home, we were having a snow storm, so while I was stuck in traffic I called Sirius to get my new toy activated, and when I gave them the ESN, they tell me that's not the right number and they can't activate me. I then realized that the guy who installed the radio wrote down the serial number on the ESN line. Ok, a little frustrating, but an honest mistake.

I called my sales person the next day and told him about it. I told him that we will need to get the right number off the receiver that was installed. He did not seem too concerned about it and said he'd get back to me. Well (long story short), five days and a number of phone calls and e-mails later I stopped in at the dealership and spoke to the sales manager. My sales guy was there and he said, "yeah, we need to have you bring it in so we can get the right number off the receiver that was installed." Huh ... ISN'T THAT WHAT I TOLD YOU LAST WEEK?! I had to bring it in the next day, and it took all of 40 minutes for them to get the number, refuel my vehicle and run it through the car wash.

As luck would have it, that same day I received my buyer's satisfaction survey from Mazda NAO. I won't tell you how I answered the question rating my satisfaction with the sales person's response to my phone calls or e-mails!

There's an "ESN" button on-screen if you have the touch display/nav system (which I have). You just touch it and it displays the ESN number and you read it to the Sirius custome rep.

Dunno how to get it with non-Tech.Pckg. vehicles.

Mine was a number on a sticker like jmhumr said...pretty easy. 6 months free plus one extra for the problem they had. I won't be renewing though.
