    I had the xm problem when I got mine.
    I can’t remember who I had to message and she fixed it. Was a millis/xm thing nothing major. Took a few minutes to have her correct the problem.
    I too have one like yours. I’d rather have those cabinets instead of a bunk though but that bed can hold a lot more storage .
    I noticed the truck changes started before though. The passenger seat turning so you can sit at the table instead of on your bed, and the extra arm rest too. the 2020s don’t have the pinstripes down the side. Nothing major but it looks nicer and then ugly M on the roof!

    Me either I’m staying until it gets unbearable. I do have somewhere to go though.
    2-300 per day home daily 5 days a week.
    About 1k a week

    A good friend of mine after a long long long time OTR O/O he’s hanging it up.
    Staying closer to home. I need something like this, well personal reasons. I can’t stay OTR much longer, sadly because I really love it. But, it’s a no brainer, this is too important.
    I won’t say because I like my anonymity
    and it wouldn’t take much to add it up.

    When you call the millis hotline go thru all the options 1 of them is press # for siriusxm probs. It will connect you with someone who will ping your truck and activate yours. Takes 5 mins

    Yeah I miss my pinstripes on my new truck but I can live without them. Never used the swivel on the passenger seat either. I do miss the map pocket on the back of the passenger seat, though. I guess Kenworth and Millis think none of us still use an atlas. My truck has the "new new" logo on the door so it's not as fuggly as the first generation of the new logo, so at least there's that. Wish they'd move the shifter back to the floor like with an actual standard. Feels more natural.

    Thanks. I figured it just needed activated since it was a new truck and all. I haven't even used the satellite TV in this one. Do I need to have them activate it too? Not in my truck at the moment to see if it already works.

    I didn’t but if it don’t work call DTV they will send a refresh signal.
    Mine went bonkers after over a year for some reason
    They were nice took 30 minutes with me and explained everything we had.
    She said just cause it’s gray don’t mean you don’t have it.
    I thought wrong on that. It’s true, I can’t remember offhand what specific channels
    I just try a gray one sometimes it works mostly it don’t

    I just wish the major network channels weren't blacked out. Because sometimes I'm not in range of an over the air station for them. Bit ai believe that's the FCC more than DTV.
