Sirius "Device Not Available"

Just picked up my new(to me) 2008 C350(P2, Panorama, Ipod, No Nav) last week. I need some help/advice. When I try to access Sirius in the car to get the Radio ID # All I get is "Device Not Available" Sirius is supposed to be standard in the 2008 C350 to the best of my knowledge. Car has a build date of 09/07 if that helps. Thanks in advance

Is the Sirius subscription still active?

Without the Multimedia package how do you do this?

Your factory warranty expires in September 2011 so your dealer may still be able to help you.

Subscription would appear to be inactive.
I want to get to the radio Id# so i can call Sirius to activate.

Looks like a trip to the dealer will be required.

I don't have a subscription but if I select Sirius I get some marketing crap.

The equipment can be there but you still have to pay Sirius the fee. I was just driving a dealer service loaner with the base radio and Sirius had never been activated and won't be until the car is sold.

LOL! Thanks... I understand how Sirius works. My comment was more about that I do not get "device not available", which might indicate either a) the device is not available , or b) a bad cable connection.
