Hi
My a/c is equipped with a GXM 40 XM antenna. It's connected with my Garmin 696. I didn't install it and I don't seem to find the Radio ID number at the bottom of the antenna.
Sirius XM has found the ID number on their system through the tail number. So that is what we've used to try and activate the subscription. However this doesn't seem to work and their tech team seems unable to help.
On the 696 there aren't many options or setting I can play with.
Long shot but does anyone have an idea what might be going on? I kept the a/c outside in the open and had the GPS running for almost two hours without luck. I have email the previous owner to see if he can double check the Radio ID number so let's see.
About to embark on a coast-to-coast trip so would be good to have XM weather up and running.
Thanks
Roger
