OK, here's my experience.

I called the number posted by BassBud and spoke to Laura. I explained I owned a Ridgeline, my free trial had expired and I had heard from fellow Ridgeline owners on the ROC that there was possibly a $77 deal. She asked if I had received a flyer. I said no. After a pause she told me the only deal was $4.99/mo for three months. I told her no thank you, but asked why some were offered the deal and not all. I had hoped to continue my XM relationship but was not going to. She then said she could honor the $77. I asked, "you just said no, now yes, I'm confused?!" She replied that she wasn't supposed to, but she would. So after being on hold a bit, she said I was all set and gave me three steps to get it reset up since it had expired:

1) Make sure vehicle has clear sky view (i.e. not in garage)
2) Tune to Channel 1 for 20 minutes
3) Check Channel 7, then 175. If can get both channels, unit is all set.

I forgot to ask about an activation fee, but the total charged to my card is $82.01 ($77 + tax). So I'm hoping that means there isn't a fee. If so, my loss.

This afternoon I'll check it out and make sure it's really set up. I hope so, I really like the serice, just not well enough to pay $12.95 + tax!!
