Sirius Radio Broke, where to repair?

[steves74 10+ year member]

I have an Xact Model XTR1, 4 years old. Lights up,but cannot "connect" to signal. Has been lightly used and looks like new.

Any ideas? Where to get repaired at?

Thanks...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Thanks...I checked the antenna, but seems to be OK.

if the antenna is good...it is probably cheaper to replace than to repair since cost is so much cheaper now...a lot of the newer portables can be interfaced into aftermarket radios also.....

Thanks, but one catch. I paid $500 for a lifetime subscription. But it only covers the original radio and is not transferable. But I did get 4 years of service out of it.

I wrote Xact, but they wouldn't even answer me back. So.... never buy a product from them. Must be a real crapy outfit.... and a bunch of a**holes!!!

Thinking about writing BBB.

I would call Sirius and explain the situation. It's pretty BS if they don't let you upgrade and keep your subscription.

I called them... gotta buy a new radio. Then they charge $75 trans fee for my lifetime sub.

Still not too bad, if I can get another 4 years out of it.

Thanks for everyones help. Any idea which is the best model to buy?

look for a model that can be interfaced through your deck
