Manheim, SiriusXM Team to Make Activation Easier for Dealers
RADIO ONLINE | Wednesday, September 25, 2019 |
SiriusXM and Manheim, an operator of a wholesale vehicle marketplace, are teaming up to make activation easier for dealers, in a move to demonstrate the accessibility and benefits of SiriusXM in the pre-owned vehicles they sell. When dealers purchase SiriusXM-equipped vehicles sold in-lane at any Manheim U.S. location, they can now take delivery of vehicles with SiriusXM already activated and working, at no extra cost to the dealers.
Under this arrangement, dealers no longer need to individually activate radios for vehicles purchased from Manheim locations. This also enables sales teams to easily showcase the availability of SiriusXM to customers on the lot and on test drives. Since April, Manheim has activated more than one million radios.
"This partnership is another way we're freeing up time for clients to focus on their core business of selling cars," said Manheim Senior VP/Marketplace Patrick Brennan. "In-vehicle technology has become even more important in used vehicle sales, and we want to do all we can to help dealers get their purchases frontline ready."
"Manheim is a groundbreaking leader in the industry of buying and selling used vehicles, and this is an exciting advancement for the growing number of dealers in our Pre-Owned Program," said SiriusXM VP/Auto Remarketing Gail Berger. "Drivers love having SiriusXM's world class programming in their vehicles, and dealers appreciate the added value of being able to give their customers a three-month subscription to SiriusXM. With Manheim we're making the SiriusXM activation process easier than ever for dealers and ensuring that SiriusXM is ready to be experienced at the push of a button in the cars and trucks they are selling."
