GL550
SiriusXM Radio Issue
Hope you guys can help!
Recently acquired a very pretty 2015 GL550, and a few days later got the dreaded chatter in the transfer case!
(Did the PO know? I try not to dwell on stuff like that.)
Anyway, $2500 and a week later I have it back, with a pre-owned transfer case installed, and the vehicle now runs great!
BUT.....in the meantime I got a letter in the mail from SiriusXM advising me I "already" have a free 3 month trial of their service activated on m...in this GL550y. "new" GL550 and I should enjoy it on them until June!
I'd love to! And I have had Sirius service in other vehicles and there is always a button to go from AM to FM and then Satellite Radio, but all I see in the GL550 are the choices of AM, FM, or WB, which allows me the choice of 7 different weather bands, none of which seem to broadcast anything. But NO choice for sirius radio.
On the Comand screen there is a choice for the Mercedes internet services no longer in operation, as well as a choice for "Sirius Weather". When I try that I get a "device error" message on the screen.
How do I get to where I can access Sirius radio?
As much as I readily admit I will probably only use the service while it is either free or very cheap, I still want to overcome this problem! (I hate being defeated by a radio!)
I do have another question regarding the "sport/comfort" setting, but that's a question for another thread if I don't find the answer already posted somewhere here. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer on this dilemma!
