I sold my rx privately with a lifetime subscription with sirius with three transfers for the future.. Now i bought a newer rx and asked for a transfer to the new car and they refused. I asked for the manager and explained but he said we dont transfer anymore. I said this was a contract.no good ! Any help

You might want to call Sirius but it's my understanding that transferring is not possible unless the vehicle is totaled. I'll have to check my contract.

Here is what I found doing a Google Search:

“The first thing to understand with a Sirius Lifetime subscription is that it is for the lifetime of the receiver, not the person. If your receiver lasts you 3.5 years, you are slightly ahead of the game. If not, you paid more than you perhaps should have. Lifetime subscribers can transfer their subscription to a new radio 3 times for a transfer fee of $75 each time. This only applies to a plug and play radio, and not a car radio.

I found the Terms and Conditions/Customer Agreement. Lifetime Subscription is not transferable when the receiver is installed by an automaker or automobile dealer unless it's stolen, accidentally damaged or defective. The three transfer applies to home, portable or dock & play receivers.

Thanks so much for the info. What confuses me is they did the transfer to another car years ago ! I'll play fm and cd's.thanks to everyone

I agree with your decision to play FM or CDs.... You are aware that you can subscribe to "Music Only" on Sirus/XM and about half the annual price of the full service.......?

If you purchased your Lifetime subscription

Before June 20, 2005: Yes, it is transferable from one radio to another any number of times.*
From June 20, 2005 until September 7, 2007: Yes, your Lifetime subscription is transferable a maximum of three times.*
On or after September 8, 2007: Lifetime subscriptions associated with home, portable or dock & play radios can be transferred a maximum of three times.* Lifetime subscriptions first associated with or transferred to radios installed in vehicles by automakers or dealers are NOT transferable unless the radio is stolen, accidentally damaged or defective.
Once a lifetime subscription associated with a home, portable, or dock & play radio is transferred to a radio installed by an automaker or dealer, the subscription becomes non-transferable. Otherwise, Lifetime subscriptions associated with a home, portable or dock & play radio can be transferred a maximum of three times, for a fee.

Be aware that Sirius is a price negotiable service. I've never paid the asking price.

You need to speak with customer retention to get any deal. I got my renewal notice for over $200 and was ready to drop it. I called to cancel and when asked why I told them it was just not worth the money for my limited use of it. They came back with an offer of $150 and I said that was still too high for the little use I would make of it. They dropped to 99 for a year of All Access with free internet access for the home. Coming up on time to renew again soon.

The brochure I found was effective as of 2009. Sirius dropped Lifetime in 2010 not too long after I got it. But they can change their terms anytime they want.
