I bought a used Garmin Zumo 550 with XM radio earlier this year and activated the radio immediately. It works fine.
I went for a ride on June 2 and noticed I was getting XM NavWeather. The buttons for Local Weather and Weather Map just showed up on the screen. I hadn't requested or purchased the add-on. It continued for a few days, then the weather turned beastly and I didn't ride again until June 17.
I noticed immediately that the NavWeather feature had gone away.
I kinda liked it, so I called XM and signed up. The listener service rep told me to turn on my XM radio for 15-20 minutes and he would send the activation signal.
I did, but nothing happened. So I went online to refresh.xmradio.com and sent the refresh signal. I did it probably 10 times over the past several days, but no NavWeather on my Zumo.
I talked to a woman at XM Tech Support this morning who told me my Garmin should be displaying the road map screen during NavWeather activation. Ok. That's the first time I'd heard that advice. She guaranteed that would do the trick.
It didn't. I tried sending the refresh signal with the map screen on, but still no NavWeather.
I've checked my XM account and confirmed that I'm being billed for XM NavWeather.
I even downloaded the latest Zumo 550 software over the weekend, just to be sure.
I know it can display NavWeather because I had it briefly. (Nobody at XM has offered an explanation as to why it appeared unbidden on June 2. My guess is that they were trying to entice me to pay for it.)
Does anyone have a solution for me?
