Default Sat Radio Disappeared?

My trial XM Sirius subscription expired, but I decided to go for a 6 month re-up last week for the fall sports season. Now I can't find the SAT choice anywhere, so I can't activate my subscription. I rarely listened during the trial period, but it was there. Is it supposed to be disabled after the trial period?

if you press the “Tuner” button it should scroll through to Sat radio and play a promo channel that will have an 800 # to call.

Pressing Tuner button only toggles between AM & FM. No SAT whatsoever.

Does the car have clear sky access to signal, not inside a building/garage? SAT should always show up, even without a subscription. Mine does...

Parking under trees also will lose signal.
OP, what are they asking for a six month subscription?

The SAT icon should still be there, along with AM, FM, JUKEBOX, etc., even if your complimentary trial has ended and you haven't renewed. I found a post in a Macan forum. Couple of guys with 2015 Macans had the same problem. Porsche replaced the entire PCM units in both cases.

Never ever pay more than $29 for 6 month renewals. They offer it if you wait long enough for the mail, but I normally just call up and tell them to cut to the chase and do the $29 deal. They always have.

I’ve seen it on two caymans as well. PCM replaced in both instances.
