Received a letter from Sirius about NavTraffic trial - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

It has worked fairly well for me here in the Atlanta metro area.

No, but I did just get a call from one of their reps with an accent who asked me how I was enjoying my Subaru "Breeze."

lol...classic.

I got a survey calling my car the same thing!

Never got the letter, my account shows no active subscriptions. I even contacted them about the missing Nav a few weeks into my initial trial subscription and they basically told me my receiver is only eligible for the free radio trial. Navigation would cost me extra:

need to make an additional payment if you wish to receive the NavTraffic
service. For further assistance, please contact our SiriusXM Listener Care

Needless to say, I said thanks anyway. At least they're taking care of some of you guys.

Contacted XM and SoA twice, and finally SoA got it working for me, glad they're extending it out to people! (XM flat out denied it was a navtraffic enabled headunit)

Anyways, to use navtraffic, you really need to have a route calculated.

If there is no sign of navtraffic working, you may need to do a radio refresh, go to this site and follow the instructions: https://care.siriusxm.com/retailrefresh_view.action

Ancient post, but I thought it was worth digging up to add another data point about how useless this feature is. In my case it kept reporting "0 delays along route" going through Atlanta, when it turns out I-285 was completely closed due to an accident that happened a couple hours before I drove through.

I was told my sat radio would be renewed when I got my letter ages ago, but it never did. Didn't think anything of it, but when I recently did a battery disconnect/reconnect for a mod, the sat radio started working. So if you were told that you would be getting a service extension but nothing happened, try the battery thing.
