Problems Re-activating Sirius
I have had my F10 for about 4 months now. Up until last week I had Sirius radio in the car and assumed it was still under the previous owner's subscription. Once it cut off I called Sirius and was able to get a free trial subscription for 3 months and also paid for an introductory 6 month trial taking me thru April 2014. They have tried sending the activation signal out to my car several times but it is not working. Today they even did a full restart and some troubleshooting, but I am still not getting any sound. I have also tried sending the signal from their website myself several times with no luck. They are now telling me that I should bring the car to my dealership and have them check the audio inputs. I know that there are not any problems with the inputs because it was working fine before and I have not done any work on the car that could have possibly screwed anything up. Anyone else experience this before, and if so, what was the solution. Thanks.

Wondering now if somehow the connections on my shark fin are loose. A few days before my Sirius subscription expired I had my roof wrapped in vinyl and they had to take off my shark fin. Does anyone know if no sound from satellite radio could be a symptom of a loose or disconnected wire on the shark fin? My radio shows the stations names, just not hearing anything.

Turned out to be a broken pin on the connection to my shark fin. The installer on my vinyl roof stepped up and bought me an OEM replacement shark fin antenna. He is a class act! Sirius has been back up and running for a few weeks now.
