How do I restart SiriusXM service on a 2017 GMC truck for a monthly plan?
Answer
Find the SiriusXM Radio ID in the truck’s audio system with the ignition on, then subscribe or transfer service on the official SiriusXM website or app using that Radio ID. Do not rely on an old BMW account number alone if the truck has a different Radio ID.
Before you start: stop right away if…
- Stop if a caller or popup asks you to pay outside SiriusXM’s normal website, app, or phone activation line.
Follow these steps
Turn the ignition on and open SiriusXM
Sit in the GMC, turn the ignition on (or to accessory if that powers the radio), and switch the audio source to SiriusXM / SXM.
You should see: The radio shows SiriusXM channels, a subscribe message, or channel 0 / Radio ID information.
Find this truck’s Radio ID
Tune to SiriusXM channel 0, or open the audio system’s SiriusXM settings, and write down the Radio ID (SID) shown for this GMC. Do not assume the old BMW account number is enough if the IDs differ.
You should see: You have the Radio ID that matches the truck’s SiriusXM receiver.
Start or transfer service on SiriusXM’s site
On a phone or computer, go to the official SiriusXM activate or renew pages, enter the truck’s Radio ID, and choose the monthly plan you want. Sign in to your existing SiriusXM account if you still have it, or create one if needed.
You should see: Checkout completes for that Radio ID and SiriusXM shows an activation or transfer confirmation.
Refresh the radio after activation
Return to the truck, keep ignition on, stay on SiriusXM for several minutes, or turn the vehicle off and on once. If channels stay locked, use the refresh or update option in SiriusXM settings if your head unit offers one.
You should see: Subscribed channels unlock on the 2017 GMC audio system.

Extra tips
What to look for: The SiriusXM Radio ID (SID) in the GMC audio settings or by tuning to channel 0, and whether the trial or subscribe screen appears after ignition is on.
Before you change anything: Park safely and keep the ignition in the correct accessory or run position only as the owner’s manual allows. Write down the Radio ID from this GMC before calling or subscribing online. Use only the official SiriusXM site or app for payment. Never share account passwords or one-time codes with unexpected callers.
