Default Sirius Subscription Question - Specifically 2012

When you folks bought your 2012s equipped with Sirius radios - ya got a trial subscription, correct?
What was the trial period?

Did Sirius cut off service the day the period ended, or did it drag out an extra week or so?

Also, individuals that have purchased used Jeeps, was service already activated?
Do the dealerships re-enable free trials for used Jeeps?

Thanks in advance for any assistance you're able to offer.

The subscription is for one year. Witha few of my cars it has stayed on a few weeks after subscription ran out, but they will find out and end it, haha. The dealerships have nothing to do with it other than the initial start up

I did purchase a used jeep and the one year free satellite was included. The dealer already activates it for you... Atleast they should.

This is true! I was called and something was in the mail. 30 bucks for 6 months. Unfortunately, I am not impressed with the sound quality of Satelite. I think it might be the cheap radio though because, other people have stated with the RER, and RBZ it sounds better.

When the free trial was up on my 11 I got a call wanting to know if I wanted to subscribe. I said no then they offered me a year for 1/2 price so I went with that. When my year is up I will tell them to cancel it unless they can give me the same deal. I know a lot of people that have done this for years and have never paid full price.

I just got this same offer as well. 30 bucks for 6 months. They sent me a bill to try to "auto renew" it...
