How do you get the SkyFi2 for $39.99 as shown in the ad? I logged in using the OPIANTXM6 code and it's coming up at $79.99 (same as my DirecTV code gets me).
I would definitely buy this if I can get it at $39.99. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?
You are the wrong site. Don't go to the linked site, go to partners.xmradio.com like it shows in the ad, then use opiantxm6 as the access code. You will see the prices in the ad.
2. There should just be a box there asking for a promo code. Put in: opiantxm6
3. The next page will show you the devices for sale. Scroll down and check the I AGREE box and press the SHOP NOW! button.
If that doesn't give you the pricing, I don't know what to tell you. The only place I see the pricing you are talking about is on the Holiday Offers page, which this link should not take you.
It works for me in both IE and Netscape. Maybe you need to clear your cache?
Make sure you check your credit card statement. They charged me a $14.99 activation fee in addition to the $39.99 for the SkyFi system and 3 mos service.
I called and had to argue with the CSR but I got it waived (supposedly as a credit to my XM account).
I'll let you know if it does indeed post. I received my system yesterday.
I say this because I think the SkyFi2 is the best out of all the receivers for its features and if you can hold off a few weeks in order to get it, you'll find it worthy of the wait.
I prefer the SkyFi because of the stock ticker and sports scores as well as the "infamous tweak" that makes it perform better in the car and home.
What is that tweak you ask?
It only works for a SkyFi that is connected directly to your car radio or boombox (not modulated).
If I remember correctly, you go into the MENU and turn on the FM modulation (even though you won't use it). You will immediately notice volume strength as you move around the preselected broadcast channels in the SkyFi menu. Select the very first choice (88 or 89.x I think) and EXIT.
