Activation

Only select new vehicles arrive factory-activated

New MINI vehicles equipped with navigation are factory activated, which means they will arrive on your lot fully functional. All other vehicles will still require a refresh to activate the on-the-lot Demo service. The Demo Service will automatically convert to a consumer account with a 12-month trial subscription via the Retail Delivery Record process. Please ensure the RDR is complete with accurate customer contact information, including email address. If a vehicle radio is not active, follow the certified pre-owned activation instructions.

All pre-owned vehicles must be pre-activated

Pre-activate the radio 48 hours after the vehicle is placed into inventory, or any time prior to delivery. The Demo Service will transition seamlessly into the 3-month trial subscription, which will automatically start after a sold record is received.

Pre-Activate A Radio

For pre-owned vehicles, pre-activating SiriusXM radios is now as easy as just scanning a VIN. New vehicles should arrive on your lot fully functional, but if SiriusXM is not working, follow the steps below to request a signal.

  • Download the SiriusXM Dealer App from the App Store or Google Play.
  • Make sure the radio is on and the vehicle is outside with a clear view of the sky. For best results, open the app and turn on location services.
  • Choose “Scan VIN,” scan the VIN barcode, then press “send refresh signal now.” Or you can manually enter the radio ID.
  • It’s that simple – and you can easily repeat the process to refresh more radios. Customer trial does not begin until after the vehicle is sold.
