Won't get signal refresh from Sirius

When I turn on the SAT, channel 184 is displayed, which is the Sirius preview channel. So it would appear I'm getting the Sirius signal. I've tried multiple times, both requesting it online and on the phone with Sirius, having a service activation signal sent to my car and it never goes through.

Since I get the preview channel, it would seem the SDAR module is good, right? What else could I be looking at here?

Make sure you gave them the correct radio ID. My 2010 E550 has two codes, one for radio and one for traffic.

Only one ESN pops up on the SAT screen. I've tried having it sent by the ESN, VIN, and my phone number.

Have you sent the signal, went onto the xrius satellete in the car and tried changing the channel?

I thought i couldnt receive signal either because it was always on the preview channel till i tried changing the channel and it worked.

Yeah, whenever I type in a new channel number, it just tells me I need to subscribe. Not the end of the world, I can just stream from my phone. But I would prefer to be able to change channels without fiddling with my phone and potentially being distracted.
