Will a Sirius Subscription work with stock Nav?

Bunni · 02-14-2011, 06:04 PM

Hello,
My previous vehicle had Sirius and I still have an active subscription with them.
I just bought a 370z with the stock Nav unit installed.
If I add my 370z's Radio ID will it work under my Sirius Subscription? Or will I have to Cancel the Sirius subscription and open an XM one?
Thanks,
Mike

Called up SiriusXM yesterday.
Sirius will not work with an XM ready radio.
I had to cancel my Sirius Subscription. Then I had to call an XM rep, open an XM Subscription. Then I had to be transferred to another XM dept to have them activate the Nav Traffic. Once the Nav traffic was activated I had to have the car running on channel 1 for at least 15 mins to download all the information from XM.
Everything works now. I thought it would have been simpler.

I converted my Sirius to the Z, but I had a docking tuner which I just installed in the front cubby and plugged into the AUX port on the radio.

Cant really compare a "docking tuner" to the stock Nav unit. I doubt your docking tuner has the graphic Nav traffic info from xm (not the traffic channels but actually traffic graphics).

No, I guess not. Not having Nav. I didn't realize that was even an option.
