No one answered this quesion when it had a different heading, so i changed it.

My car has XM radio installed in it right now. For some reason it (ahemmm).... doesn't need to have a paid subscription to work. I'm sure at some point im going to need a new car, and i'll want to transplant the entire system from my old car into my new car.

Speculation is ok, but it would be nice to have an answer with some backing behind it.

So the question is: will doing this reset the system and make it so i need to reenter the info and lose my service? or will it be ok? is there a way to transfer it without losing power so it doesnt reset? like the frogger episode on seinfeld?
 
Not familiar with XM radio, so i can't really say if you're going to need to reenter the information. But the only way to not reset a device is to keep a constant 12v on the device. I dont think you can transfer the device without unplugging it.
