How many people plan to subcribe to SiriusXM after their trial subscription expires?

[TheStig]

Hmm funny hearing how you wound up getting 2yrs on the ms3. I heard this happen on many occasion,mainly only it going for a full yr instead of the 6 month trial. Maybe it's there little plan to let you have it for atleast a yr and by then your so used to having it you give in and subscribe,haha. Or,maybe they just get lazy and eventually getting around to shutting off . I wouldn't complain if that happened to me,hehe.

-ry

If i didnt have to change the battery one day i dont think it would have ever been shut off. Im assuming after the battery was re-connected it probably sent a signal to SIRIUS for authorization and it bounced saying no good and stopped it all together. Happened to our dodge work truck too, not that unusual it would seem.

I still have a little time....I do like a few of the stations..The Blend is my favorite. But the tariff is too high. I have been working on piping in my own music via flashdrives.....this works pretty well.

I have 2 lifetimes which is the only way I will deal with them. the one lifetime I have has already paid for itself. I only listen to one station "octane" otherwise it would not be worth it.

Xm/Sirius just called me to ask if I wanted to renew my subscription.
I asked about the compressed sound and the lady said they get that complaint a lot with newer cars, and that is something wrong with out radios? I dunno about that, but just putting it out there.

Mine expired. I called and added the Traffic and Travel Link subscription since I use those features, it is $5.98 per month. I use my phone and Google Music for tunes.

The price for what you get is outrageous. It's nearly $17.00 a month. Good info about the travel link for $5.98/mo. Might just do that since I use that alot. I use my zune in the car via usb. Works like a charm. I never take it out of the car unless I add music to it. And it hides in the center console and works with my voice and steering wheel controls.

I'm a "no" vote. I've subscribed for a while with previous cars, but didn't really find it to be worth the money. I'd rather use the BT and stream stuff I actually want to listen to. When I've used Sirius/XM it was mostly for the comedy channels.

No, it's something that's always been there, regardless of the radio used. There just isn't a lot of bandwidth available for all those channels so they have to compress the hell out of it.

I assumed as much lol.
If it was the radio, all the other sources of music would sound just as bad

 

[miketank89]

I know a few people who have held out on renewal and have gotten good deals. Thats the only way its worth it to me, I only listen to a few channels. Cant see paying 17 a month for something that's more of a convenience then anything.

 

[Dr. Apex]

It used to be worth it, but with the prices they're asking it's just not worth it.

 

[rooSTer]

Anyone got a call from them? They offered me $99.99-year if I signed up for a one year plan.

I got the same offer.
No thanks, I'll just keep Spotify and have waaaay more variety and control over my music

I thin that price is still too high for what they offer. I only find three stations with listening to, about 50% of the time. The rest of the time it's not worth it.

If it was under $5 a month, I'd consider it.

For Spotify?
You can make a station from literally any song you want? Or listen to any artist, album, or song you want?
It basically doesn't get any better than that lol

No no. For sirius. I know about spotify. Sirius should not be more than $5/mo imi.

 

[Colin1337]

Ahh, agreed. Especially considering how poor the sound quality is

 

[dyn085]

The sound quality has never really bothered me. I usually deny their first offer and wait for them to call back with the new 'lower' 1-year price. Then I accept and pay and each time I have the vehicle has always gotten at least two years before they noticed and shut it off. I make enough long-distance road trips to make it worth my while, even though I've found that a lot of times in this car I forget to even turn it on.

 

[the duke]

Its not worth it when you can stream music via BT.

This. I just stream me some Digitally Imported and I'm good.

 

[Major_A]

That's a big fat negatory. The only thing I'll miss is the traffic alerts when I search for something with the navigation. The rest of the features can be easily obtained using your phone, a USB stick and a YouTube video downloader/audio converter (all free BTW).
