Default Sirius Users?

My Sirius Satelite radio package only offers certain channels. Just wondering if you guys get all of the channels or only a select number? Is this because of the 3-month trial that was included with the car? If you agree to a full subscription do they then give you full access? Doesn't this network have over a hundred channels?
I have played with the radio on my 07' enough to figure out categories and switched it to all genre's, and somehow I still only have access to certain channels. If anyone knows the answer please chime in. Thanks in advance!

Default no it isn't. you get all the channels IF you actually sign up your receiver+VIN.

you're just getting a 'lite' trial at the moment. Your 3 months give you all the channels.

Default True! ^

After I installed my receiver, I was only able to recieve certain channelst too.

After I called SIRIUS gave them the receiver's ID#, my name, address and email, I got all the channels w/ 3 months free and no activation charge. BTW - they never asked for my car's VIN

Default you get all stations - even traffic

dealer activated mine for the trial (i have since subscribed). you definitely get every station during the trial. i think one limitation may be that online listening is the basic package, whatever that means -- i only say that because i remember the little applet had another option grayed out other than the "basic" that was selected.

playboy station (free) you also need to activate separately online or by phone. not worth the effort. the couple times i tuned in, it was guys calling in pretending to try to pick up playmates. not sure what i expected, but that was pretty idiotic.

Default You're in DEMO mode, not the 3 month trial.

Your dealer didn't activate your radio properly. We had the same problem with my wife's car.
