You'll have to buy the Sirius stuff for the F90BT and then transfer your subscription for Sirius over to the new unit. Its a $75 charge.

how much does the "sirius stuff" for the f90bt cost? Also cna you tell me exactly which products i need. This is making me question my decision of the f90bt now.

why does he have to pay $75 to activate a new tuner and deactivate an old one?

Umm that is what Sirius charges, well they charge If you have a lifetime membership account. But check cause i know they charge for other changes like this. I also vaguely remember if you don't have a lifetime you get 3 free changes to different receivers. Just ask they will tell you.

Interesting. I have never been charged by XM to transfer anything, and I have done it multiple times.

True, however you are also only allowed 3 changes and they ding you as well. Just pointing some stuff out to be aware of.

They must have charged me without knowing, I have been a subscriber since 2005 I think. Have changed to new receivers 4 times.
