Resolved Question: XM Service Renewal (in car)?

I have an 07 Honda Accord that came with XM satellite radio from the dealer. I don't mean XM-ready, I mean it actually had XM in the factory navigation unit, and it even came with a few free months of service. That was a couple years ago, but now Im looking to renew my service, but my car already has the receiver and the antenna, so what exactly do I need to buy to renew my XM service? more

Resolved Question: Car dealers...best way to avoid....?

being weasled into a car that's not as good as they'd like to make you think? My husband and I are looking for our first new car. We had our sights set on a Hyundai Accent, but after we got to the dealer they outright lied! They told us the car had an am/fm cd player equipped with 3 free months of satellite radio, when my husband looked inside it didn't even have a radio! And they all played dumb, one of them saying "Oh it doesn't? Well we can get you one but it won't have satellite radio." What is that? We plan to buy outright, pay in full. So at least we don't have the car payment issue to deal with. But can you give me tips on how to find a good quality car without being led to believe it's something it's not? I know that I need to research first, but what if I forget something? All tips would be helpful. Thanks in advance for your help :) more

Resolved Question: Satellite ready radio...what else do I need?

I have a 2006 Scion xB. The car came with a "satellite ready" deck (has a CD player, radio tuner, and auxiliary jack for my iPod) and I'm wondering what I need to purchase to get satellite radio in my car.

Resolved Question: What action can be taken if the car you bought turned out to be missing certain features?

I recently purchased a pre-owned vehicle from a dealer. The car was advertised as having a towing package and Sirius satellite radio. Turns out the Sirius system needs to be purchased from Mazda, and the so called "towing package" doesn't exist at all. Being that I already signed all the paperwork and now own the vehicle, can I hold the dealership responsible? If so, how? more

Resolved Question: Auxiliary port on an 08 Mazda 3?

I have an 08 Mazda 3. It currently has a Sirius/XM radio setup. I was told that, in order to use the factory installed auxiliary port in the center console, I would need to install a $300+ splitter to have both the port and the satellite radio. Is there any way that I could get this splitter through a OEM parts dealer? I'm certain that I can install this thing myself, and perhaps save the money in having the dealer do the labor.

Resolved Question: HELP WITH CAR LEASE?!?!?

My local BMW dealer has a lease special for a 2009 BMW 328xi Coupe with Premium, Cold Weather Package, Navigation, HD Radio, Satellite Radio, and Comfort Access System (MSRP $48,000). Their advertisement has it for $359/month for 36mo. and 10k miles with a $4,995 capitalize cost reduction (down payment). The salesman said that to get it for that price my total cash due at signing would be around $9,500! In other words, taxes and other fees (bank acquisition fee, registration fees, title fees, etc.. would amount to nearly half the capitalize cost reduction which I find surprising! Yes it's a BMW but it's a 3 series which is their most popular model and relatively cheaper than their other lines so unless they do not manufacture many, this should not warrant such a high cash due at signing. Does $9,500 for total cash due at signing sound like a ripoff? If so, what's a good way to bargain down the cash due at signing to no more than $5,000 and no more than $500/month (if these numbers are even possible). Also, does anyone know what might be a reasonable cash due at signing and monthly for 36 months and 12,000 miles? Thanks more

Resolved Question: Returning leased vehicle with sirius installed?

A friend of mine is returning their lexus in which they had sirius satellite radio installed. They are wondering if they have to take it out before returning the vehicle. The thing is it was professionally hooked up and I believe the wire runs through the interior of the frame of the car. Is the dealer going to say something like you've devalued the car by doing this. Should he take it out? thanks. more

The dealer has offered me more for my Camry Hybrid which is an 07 with 20K miles on it versus a new 08 Prius.

Resolved Question: Durango CD player not working after jump-start?

I have a 2004 Dodge, Durango. It has the stock 6 disc stereo, DVD, Sirrus combo. One of the kids left the light on one night and we had to jump-start the car. Since then the CD player will not work. Everything else works just fine. It is like the CD player doesn't exist. Has anyone else had this happen? Does anyone know how to fix it? I know i could take it to the dealer and they could probably fix it for a marginal fee. I was trying to avoid that route if I could. I am mechanically inclined so if it can be fixed I could probably do it. If the fuse was bad, wouldn't the whole thing not work? The radio works, the DVD, satellite, it all works. But there is no CD functions at all. No error messages, nothing. When scrolling through the options (DVD, Satellite, AM, FM, etc...) the CD player doesn't come up. If there are separate fuses for the different components within the system I guess I could understand. I am used to the older style where there is one fuse for the whole car stereo. Also, does anyone know where to get a copy of the electrical diagram without having to buy the service manual? Dodge was kind enough to not label anything in the fuse panels, just the amp rating for each one. In an attempt to get us to take it to the dealer for a fuse, i suppose. more

Is there any additional hardware that is needed? Thanks! more

Resolved Question: I'd really like dealer installed NAV in my new car. Why are they cd driven & not satellite?

I heard if you get navigation "in dash" that it can only be updated by buying cd's to load. The dash mounted types, Garmin, TomTom, receive satellite signals and are constantly updated. I really hate anything on my dash or stuck on the winshield. Why aren't "in dash" kinds satellite driven too? I don't understand why the same antenna that runs your satellite radio couldn't run your nav too? Or maybe you can order one to be installed that is? If not, how do you know how often to update, and are the cd's expensive? more

Resolved Question: Toyota Corolla wobble at HWY speeds.?

I have a one owner 1995 Toyota Corolla with 190,000 miles. The car is dealer maintained and we have followed the book to a "T". This car has not really aged a bit. Problem: At highway speeds (70mph) I started to notice the interior of my car had a wobbling type vibration. My satellite radio bracket on the dash shakes badly. I thought it was the bad pavement on the 101 near my house causing this. It only happens when I step on the gas, when at 65-75 mph. If I let off the gas and coast at these speeds, it goes away. The car is not shifting out of overdrive when I perform this test. There are no tire vibrations. Brand new tires, just balanced and rotated. There is no steering wheel shimmy during the wobble/vibration. It does not happen in city driving. It does not seem to be the engine. During city driving, if I place the car in Low, and try to replicate the wobble by pressing the gas, then coasting, I can't replicate. more
