Hi guys I'm new here and just got my first truck. 2017 silverado 1500. I got a free all access subscription to Sirius with my truck. only problem is it only goes up to the 200's. I contacted Sirius and they say my radio is designed that way. same as chevy.

 

Why would my $40k truck only go to 200 yet my work vehicle with a cheap single DIN unit goes up to 400+?

Not sure about why they did that to the truck, but how they get you is, to make you want to stay with the all access. You can use the app on your phone, stream on your computer, etc. If you go back to the normal plan, all you get is just access through the truck. And welcome to the site, and congratulations on your truck!!!

So is there no way to get all the channels besides through my phone? Can I upgrade the radio to fix this?

No, and do not believe that there is an upgrade to get more channels with the factory unit.

I have a 2017 LTZ Silverado, it has the All Access Sirius XM package, I get up to channel #230 I believe it is. In my other vehicle, it has the Sirius XM SELECT package and it only goes up to channel #200. Pretty sure you probably only have the SELECT package, upgrade to ALL ACCESS and the additional channels will magically appear.

Sirius and XM while the same company are two separate radio systems still. The XM side doesn't offer stations that are only available on the internet side (channels higher than 200 except the sports channels) while Sirius radios do allow the higher channels. GM vehicles are XM radios where Dodge and Acura, Hyundai, only ones I know of are Sirius radios.

Same issue here Smidge.  I get around it by using Android Auto.  Fringe bene besides all the Sirius channels is Hands Free texting and a navigation map that you will never have to pay for an update.  Downside data usage and cellular service.  I camped up in the white mountains last year.  No cell service but satellite radio worked fine.

I am having the same issue. I have a 2020 Yukon Denali and I cant get above channel 235 on my SiriusXM radio. I have the all access package that should get me additional stations. SiriusXM says there is something wrong with the radio and the dealership says it is a programming issue with SiriusXM. I am extremely frustrated!!

I would maybe say it's something with your radio. We have a 2020 traverse with the premium radio and it get channels up in the 700's.

the free test ride dosn't give all channels, and they like to leave out the trashy degenerate liberal channels when you first get the free subscription.  XM is good for music.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
