a few minutes usually.


ibyourright

 

mine worked almost instantly. you spoke to a rep on the phone?


oh and you have a package on the way

 

mine was instant also

 

Online FTW/L?


AHHHHHH!!! THAT'S WHAT I MISSED TODAY!!!! Thanks, Justin...good things are in order. I cleared my workbench tonight.

 

Umm Dan you did leave your car on and in view of the sky when you activated right?

 

Online works just as well. Ive done dozens of em that way.

 

STILL NOTHING.

Oh, well...whatever, I'm gonna go to bed.

Anyone with an Alpine HU & Siruis, I should just be using the Aux input, right? Should the display face read anything different? Or just 'AUX'?

 

Yeah. No garage FTMFL. Do they send the activation thing out only once? I didn't have godd'amn power cable plugged in. (It's in now)

 

You should leave it on until it starts playing. It should have been on once you clicked "ok" online.

noob

 

BAH!!!! I'm gonna kill someone if I have to rip everything apart to check the ******* leads. Why the hell didn't they put a $0.10 LED in there to indicate status?!

 

Did you get your online account login? You could see if that works. If it doesn at least you know your account is activated.

Does your alpine HU have Aux RCA ins? My POS doesn't. Just has gdamn AI net aux in, but I'm using that for processor control. Ran RCA's back to the processor, which has RCA ins and for some odd reason, it doesn't work on the RCA in's on my processor either. Thanks Alpine. I've given up for now, but I enjoy Sirius at home and at work via computer login. .

PS...I tested my sirius unit elsewhere, and that's NOT the problem.

 

Why didnt ya leave your car on when ya activated it?

 

I'm using the AInet for satellite and processor, but I got the add on unit SIR-ALP1 and it has a pass through in/out built into it.

As for activation, I just plug it all in wired it up, and it automatically tuned in to .. 184 is it? the "setup chanell anyway.. left it on, got online, filled out the info and it was wworking by the time I walked back downstairs to the car.

 

R U SIRIUS

hope you got it working....
if not, then sit in the car and call, you iNterNetS newb


you can atleast log online and listen to the music stations awhile

 

Well, 12 hours or so later, and still no signal. GRRRRRR. I should just be using the Aux setting on the HU, right? And it should just be ready to go?

 

You have to plug it into the AInet and then go to fm and press band until it either says XM or Sirius... Thats at least how mine worked... I did get a bad tuner the first time so that could have happend to you...

EDIT: what tuner are you using?

 

Should atleast get their setup channel if you haven't even gotten the subscription going. If not receiving that, seems like you aren't getting a signal.

 

Well, found the problem, and that is I'm a [hucking idiot.

I have the sirius unit and my dvd player right beneath my passenger seat. I hooked this up around 11:30pm last night, and didn't see which power cable I put into the unit. Well, in the light of day after work, it occured to me that the dvd player and the sirius tuner have IDENTICAL POWER HARNESSES.

SIRIUSLY PWN3D.

 

Oh, and

IareceptionisperfectANDtheantennaisonmydash

 

Well, tune to 100, and enjoy

 

You mean preset #5?

 

I mounted my mini antenna on my 3rd brake light. beware that some heavily wooded roads, and underpasses will interrupt your signal ftl.

 

Nice, nice. I ordered some red LEDs yesterday FTW.

 

I put antennas IN the dash, no need to look at that ugly shiet
