How do I transfer a SiriusXM subscription after buying a new vehicle?

Answer

Sign in to the SiriusXM account, open the vehicle list, remove or cancel the old vehicle subscription, then add or activate the new vehicle radio under the same account.

Follow these steps

  1. Sign in to SiriusXM

    Open the official SiriusXM website or app and sign in to the account that owns the paid subscription.

    You should see: You reach the account home area where subscription and vehicle options are available.

  2. Open the vehicle list

    Find the section that lists vehicles or radios on the account and open it.

    You should see: You can see the old vehicle and any other radios currently linked to the subscription.

  3. Remove or cancel the old vehicle plan

    Select the old vehicle, such as a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, and cancel that paid subscription or remove that radio from the paid plan.

    You should see: The old vehicle is no longer billed, or SiriusXM confirms the radio was removed from the active plan.

  4. Add or activate the new vehicle

    Choose the option to add a vehicle, transfer service, or activate a radio, then enter the new vehicle’s radio ID from the car’s SiriusXM screen or audio settings.

    You should see: The new vehicle appears on the account and can receive the subscription.

  5. Refresh the new car radio

    In the new vehicle, turn the radio on, select SiriusXM, and allow a few minutes for activation. Use the in-car refresh or retry option if the app or website provides one.

    You should see: The new vehicle plays SiriusXM under the transferred or reactivated subscription, or shows a specific activation error to report to SiriusXM.

Extra tips

What to look for: In the SiriusXM account, a vehicle list that still shows the old vehicle and an option to change, cancel, or transfer the subscription.

Before you change anything: Have the old and new vehicle details ready, including year, make, model, and radio ID if shown in the car. Confirm which vehicle should keep paid service. Use only the official SiriusXM website or app. Never share account passwords or one-time codes with unexpected callers.
