Need Help Please!!!!!
Looks like I have a garmin Road Tech 665 purchase gone bad. It started after the dealer installed it and the told me that I have to call XM to get activation. I thought you got 3 month free trial with purchase. So i call XM to get the radio, weather and traffic activated. They told me I could not get a free trial. Well the only one I could get is the XM radio and they said I could not get any thing else. They told me to get ahold of dealer and they had to take care of it. I call dealer and they know nothing about that, and they told me i should be able to get XM Trafic and XM weather. What do I do now!!!!!!

Free trial subscription
I just went through the same thing here. Apparently the manual is old and the code from Garmin is old. There is nothing the dealer can do because the free trial is through Garmin not Harley. So like the other poster said just pay the activation fee and subscription fee and drive on. It is well worth it in my humble opinion for what is worth.

You have to have the XM subscription for XM traffic and XM weather. You can get them when you activate your XM radio or you can get just traffic and weather and no radio service. This what I was told when I went to activate mine and I asked to speak with a supervisor after I was told that the code word for the free three months and the free activation was no longer valid. I raised hell with them about the code no longer being valid after spending the cash this is when I found out that this through Garmin not HD. The supervisor told me that if I was not satisfied with the sat service that I could cancel it but still keep the traffic and weather for a much smaller fee. Dont quote me on this but I think it was just $9.95 a month for just the traffic and weather service. I hope this helps soinds like a bunch of crap but know I have all active I am very happy with it all especially with the traffic and weather service. The wife and I just did the Lake Michigan circle tour and it was a great help I say enough about how easy it made our trip.
