How do I know my customer information is safe and treated appropriately by SiriusXM?

SiriusXM understands the importance of data confidentiality and security. We follow industry standards for data protection to ensure all customer information is secure. This is the same data security process and privacy policy that is applied to shared customer information from new and Certified Pre-Owned vehicle sales.

How do I pre-activate SiriusXM radios for my customers?

We recommend pre-activating radios on SiriusXM-equipped vehicles by using the SiriusXM Dealer App prior to customer delivery so they drive off the lot listening to their SiriusXM trial subscription. By pre-activating a radio, you can demonstrate SiriusXM during test drives.

Will all Pre-Owned vehicles receive a 3-Month trial subscription?

Yes, your entire Pre-Owned inventory of factory-installed SiriusXM vehicles, regardless of manufacturer, will receive a 3-month Platinum Plan trial subscription. Plus, customers purchasing pre-owned vehicles not-equipped with SiriusXM will receive a 3-month Streaming Platinum trial subscription. Exclusions apply. See Launch DMS.

Please note: complete and accurate VIN and Customer Contact information is required for your customers to receive the Platinum Plan trial subscription and the Streaming Platinum trial subscription.

How will my customers buying non-equipped pre-owned cars get notified about their trial on the SXM App?

Eligible customers will receive an email or letter from SiriusXM within a few days of their vehicle purchase with instructions to activate the Streaming Platinum trial subscription. Once they’ve set up their credentials and started their trial, they should download the SXM App (from the App Store or Google Play) to start streaming on connected devices and in their car via Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, or directly through their vehicle’s speakers.
