We just recently purchased a 2008 LR2 and I am trying to change over my XM Radio subscription from my previous vehicle. The problem is I can't find the Radio ID # on the LR2. When starting the vehicle the radio shows that we have satellite radio, but I can't get to it to find the ID #. XM customer service hasn't been much help either. They keep telling me the same thing, turn to channel 0, but that doesn't work. Even going to the advance settings, it doesn't give me an option to see the ID #. I think, some how, the sat radio has been turned off or not ever set up and now I can't find it..... Any suggestions???
This is how is found on my wifes 2011. Go to sat1, by pressing on the FM button. Press menu and turn the knob until advanced settinngs is highlighted. Push the knob. Turn the knob again until Sirius ID is highlighted. Push the knob and voila, there it is. I hope this will help you, but keep in mind that the radio is probably somewhat different on the 2008.

Here is the problem. When I go to "advance setting" the satellite is not an option. I am not sure why. I was told by the dealer that this had satellite and when I turn the radio on it goes through it's displays at the beginning and "Sirius Radio" shows.....
I've had nothing but problems dealing with Sirius/XM when trying to switch it over. They pretty much gave up and sent me a separate radio to add to the vehicle, but I am not fond of that option.
Looks like I will have to contact the dealer and see what is up.
ok, don't take it the wrong way, but here is the stupid question of the day..... Your truck does have Sat radio? It is weird that it doesnt show it and that you dont get the CALL SIRIUS AT 1-888.... whatever it is everytime you turn it on.

Tune to channel 184. That's the preview channel. If that comes in, you have satellite radio. If it doesn't, well, you don't.
Also, tuning to channel "0" to get the radio ID is from the XM platform. Your LR2 would have come with a Sirius radio, so the "Channel 0" thing won't work. Also, you don't really need the radio ID anyway, you can tell Sirius your VIN number and they can activate your radio from that.
By the way, they charge a fee for you to switch your account from XM to Sirius, even though it's the same company. Ask them to waive that and they will. If they don't cancel your XM account first and register your Sirius account as a new one.
