As for the rest... You should talk to your salesman or visit the sirius website.
I've been listening to it free for about a week but mine was off this morning.

I can vouch for you on this. I don't know why such a working man's town is so slow to get services. There are many outlying communities that would benefit from more services in Drayton. They do have a WalMart now, which helps, but a FutureShop would do well there.

Oh well, hopefully someone busts a move and gets more services in this otherwise busy town.

As far as identitiy theft goes, that's s****y man. I got a call recently from a dude offering a free credit check over the phone. My only response was; "I hope when they catch you, the most insatiable child molester in your prison makes you his b***h, then shares you with the rest of the cell block." I hate thieves.

Your truck might not have sirius, they all have the button but if you don't have a black antenna on the roof above the front window on the passenger side you don't have sirius.

I went for a drive today... Mine was off too.

Maybe it was Only a two week thing rather than a month like last time.

Lol @ pat!!!!

Too Good man. I think id do the same if someone calls me. I didnt get hit with identity theft, i just dont want to risk it.

Anyways, factory sync cable.... Cable alone was just shy of 64 bucks alone.

The way i see it, Im not going to let a gender bender make me think Ive got a bad hard drive.

If the next vehicle I buy has a Sirius radio I may just try it. I so seldom listen to the radio (when I'm driving seems like the only time I can enjoy peace and quiet) that I could easily go for a year without using it.
I literally LOL'd reading this.

Leave your radio off for a year so you can get free Sirius that you don't want because you never listen to the radio anyway?

I love the internet!

Don't take what I said as rule though. It's just what I have read and experienced myself. At the time I read that the ESN is on the kill list 6-8 months. I would give it a full year just to be sure though.

The weather has been great. High teens, low twenties. I hate hot weather if you couldn't tell
2011 Xlt Supercab....is there an easy way to just unhook the antenna. Is it behind glove box or unit maybe?
