Anyone know how to get rid of annoying Sirius XM ad pop-up?

[wills446]

I bought my truck this past April and my 6 month free trial of SiriusXM expired in October. I have less than zero interest in a SiriusXM subscription. Starting last week, this annoying advertisement started popping up every time I start the truck. It won't go away until I press the red X. Does anyone know how to make it go away for good? (without paying for a subscription, of course. I hate SiriusXM)

You pretty much have to contact Sirius and tell them to desist. They’re aggressive and will continue to pester you in anyway they possibly can if you don’t make it crystal clear you’re not interested.

and if that works lets us know who you contacted
in case it happens to others.

Sorry, Goatmann, but that is terrible advice. Have you ever actually contacted Sirius? I have, and I can tell you what will happen. They won't do what you ask and then they will call, email, and text you relentlessly trying to get you to sign up.

What I'm asking is if there is a way to disable ads in the interface. It's a technical question. Thanks to anyone reading in advance.

Isn't that the whole point of online forums?

Take it how you want to, mister, just offering up a suggestion. And yes, I have contacted Sirius, I’m a subscriber. Try it before you knock it. Meaning call them, have your VIN ready, they will need it .

I had the same thing happen but with XM Guardian. I called XM and asked them how to stop the pop ups. They told me to log onto website and there is a button to click to turn off notification. Did not renew and have not had pop up since. It was a while ago so forgive me for not remembering the exact steps.

I got the same popup. Hit listen now and has not popped back up.

I went into the source settings and changed the "HIDE" and "SHOW" settings for which sources i was interested in. I never had to call XM.

I set all to HIDE, except for FM and BLUETOOTH and that seemed to get rid of XM for me, but my issue is that although i sometimes listen to FM, damned thing always defaults to that and not BLUETOOTH, even if i turn truck off, restart within 5 mins. Phone was left in truck, btw, but no matter it goes to FM. Have to reselect BT.

I now have latest 26.17. Sorry, hope im not hijacking, related so didnt create new post

OP, There must be a setting to disable notifications because like tech97elec I don't get the pop up. Nor do I subscribe to XM (and also have no interest in it either). I don't remember changing any notification settings specific to XM, but shutting all the notification crap off is one of the first things I do with any technology. I guess I'm a "don't call me, I'll call you" kind of person and I don't need pop ups of the news, weather, or advertising.

Yeah, I think I remember seeing a setting to have the truck default to your last source. So if you're on bluetooth when the power shuts off, it will default to that, or if you're on FM when it powers down it defaults to FM on the next start up. I'd have to hunt for it though to confirm, but that sounds familiar.

Hmmmm.... you know i remember seeing that and set it to last source, but that was many software updates ago! Ill recheck, thanks for reviving my memory!
