Sirius and existing service

[MC B2K]

Does anyone have any experience with Sirius as a current customer when you bought your Raptor?

Did they suspend your account and tack it on to the free trial period that comes with the truck?

I'll be about 1 year into my current 2 year subscription, so I'm hoping they will give me credit for the included 6 month free subscription.

They can get weird about transferring, at least that is with lifetime. The guy that got my old F-150 FX2 has a free lifetime subscription from me, courtesy of Sirius.

They wouldn't transfer your lifetime membership over? I have a lifetime membership but it is on a unit from them. I was able to buy a new radio and they switched it. They wanted to charge me some ridiculous amount and i complained about it and they didn't end up charging me.

When i bought my raptor i had a subscription on the old truck. I barely had that truck 18 months. I just cancelled the subscription and when the 6 months is up i will start up a new subscription.

They will do either, transfer with a credit or terminate old and give you a refund. I transferred the service from my old F150 to the Raptor, but we cancelled the service on my wife's escape and got a refund until her trial was expired. That ended up being a better deal because when her trial ran out they threw us a hell-of-a deal to renew!

As for lifetime, it's a 50$ charge to swap to newer radio. I have it for my 3rd unit.

SiriusXM told me that I could transfer my lifetime subscription from my 07 F-150 to a portable radio. I have a portable radio with a lifetime subscription. I told them why would I want a portable radio in a truck that has it built in!!!!!!

They also told me that they did not offer lifetime subscriptions anymore.

How much is a lift time subscription?

They told me they don't offer it anymore. It was like $428.

yes if you wait till you'r free sub is almost up they will give you a good deal to renew.they will usually get a hold of you while you still have some time left and offer you a deal but if you say no they will try to get a hold of you again before it runs out and offer you an even better deal. at least thats what they did when i had my 2011.
