Hey guys, I have a 2012 550, that came with sirius radio. I have the subscription and have supposedly all the channels (after contacting the sirius rep) but some of the channels are missing. I have tried sending the signal, etc, with no luck. I think what happened is after sirius and XM merged, some of the channels do not broadcast because I have an older tuner. Has anyone heard of this or come up with a solution? Do you think simply replacing the tuner with a newer one will resolve the issue?

IIRC, there are still some separate XM & Sirius channels. They told me the "older tuner" story about 5 years ago. I don't trust them so don't know accurate that response is. IIRC, they did mention a new tuner was required but to me the cost wasn't worth it for the couple extra channels. I figured it was just another way to separate me from my money.
