Default garmin 496 - truning on and off mo xm subscription services....



Well, I only buy the "lite" subscription at $29 odd bucks a month. It
appears to be a limitation of the technology that, if you don't use it
enough, the unit needs to be reinitialized. Only inconvenient under
certain circumstances.

So, they don't shut you down, you do (by not flying often enough).

Good Luck,
Mike

Oh yea, ?? Even though you keep throwin' the $50 per month? They
shut
you down w/out notice?...If so...that's a pita...




.stuff snipped from my original reply
I went out the other day to get...nothing. No feed. I went on the site
to discover (as others already have), that, if you don't use the thing
often enough, you get shut off. This requires a reactivation via the
Web. It worked. F.Y.I. to those who may idle the unit for a couple of
months.
