For a company that's always teetering on the verge of bankruptcy, you would think someone at xm would go, "why do we have all these DJs again?"
I'm glad someone said it, because I never understood that either. I mean, all that music is on computers. We could literally listen to music nonstop 24/7, but they choose to annoy us with their "DJs."

Yes, they still advertise on the Stern Show. It's not too bad when you consider he will sometimes go over an hour without a single commercial. Not too many other shows on radio or TV that will do that.

Couldn't agree more. They are completely unnecessary on the music channels.

I've had my Z for less than a week and all of a sudden it's telling me I don't have NavTraffic. I can still listen to the XM radio though.

Are the subscriptions separate? Does anyone know how to check on your subscription (preferably online)?

If anyone needs codes for additional time I think I have some, I will look tonight.

I had XM bought for me as a gift but I hated it, so I have the left over pre-paid cards.

I'll probably cancel when the time is up unless they go a little cheaper, or throw in the best of sirius for free.

I did enjoy the comedy stations, thought it's not worth the $$$.

I have heard the sound quality is better on XM than Sirius. When I started listening the chanel 0, it said call Sirius to start your free subscription, so I did. Do I get a choice? Can I get XM instead? Is the sound quality the same now that they are merging?

The sound quality on both suck in my opinion, maybe XM sucks slightly less.

This could just be the antenna, but I did notice that when I had sirius in my g35, I lost signal in the phoenix tunnel, and even in my own garage. That isn't an issue with xm.

I've had XM since it first came out. I'm somewhat addicted to it now. I subscibed to the NavTraffic, bit I may cancel that. It seems to only update I-95, which I can see from my apartment, so it really isn't necessary.

Love Sirius Xm, Cant understand why more people dont have it. Great product Imo.
Same channels no matter where you are and No commercials.
I wish the base 370z came with Sirius Xm. This shouldnt come on just the Touring. Nissan should have put it as an option for all Z cars.
