Default New car satellite radio

My satellite radio does not show any channels.
Does the 90 day free trial of satellite radio start right when I take the car from the dealer? or Do I have to call and activate?

My dealer activated mine when showing me the car when I picked it up. I think dealers have a special activation number. took like 2 minutes to get it done. Since its a promotion the dealer may have to do it, not sure though

Thanks toyotatom.

They might have forgotten to activate mine. I picked up my car on memorial day and the amount of employees on shift was limited. I'll have to get mine activated by the dealer.

90 days. The dealer has a special website that they use to activate a radio in the car. The media unit in my car was replaced and the dealer forgot to activate the new ESN.

It is 90 days, except under special circumstances (e.g. December to Remember promotion) when it can be for one year.
