When XM first came out in 2000 I bought the lifetime membership for $199. I have got my monies worth.

I've had XM in all my vehicles since about 2001. I specifically chose XM over Sirius because I liked XM better and they had excellent customer service.

In my always humble opinion, XM has gone down hill ever since the "merger"....fees have continually gone up (despite the promise by Sirius to the FCC that they wouldn't) and customer service is truly horrible.

I like a lot of their music line-up (except for the loud-mouth DJs the Sirius felt the need to add) and much of their talk line up as well and it's nice to be able to listen to what you want when traeling without shifting through channels every 30 miles...the Nav-traffic is a nice feature too but I'm not sure it's worth the price.

For now, I'll keep using them but I suspect that "satelite radio" is on it's way "out"; especially "Sirius' brand of radio.

I like the XM. I had it in my E46 before the Z so for about 4 years now. I like the comedy and my guilty pleasure is coast to coast am on xm 165 cause I like hearing kooky folks talkin about being abducted by space aliens! :tup:

Also why are you guys up this time of morning, especially you Robert_Nash. Man I wish I was listening to xm in the parking lot of Bojangles right now! UMMM buttery goodness!

It's fun to stay up late!
The times that are given on this forum are -5 GMT... so consider their time zone too.

I've not even tried it.

Since my other vehicle doesn't have it, I've not bothered. In fact, this is my first vehicle that has had a CD player, let along a 6-disk changer in it, that supports WMA/MP3. Since I have all the music I'd want, I just burn disks. I wish it'd read the info off the WMA file though - lol...

Wife's civic has a CD player w/o WMA/MP3 support.

I was working late trying to get everything done before I leave for my honeymoon Sunday.

Congratulations?
I think what may be ... somewhat more appropriate is: "have fun." :bowrofl:

It would be nice if the satellite radio stations would grow up out of their adolescent habits and nix the endless use of the "F" word and the constant explicit sexual references. I don't even listen to the SAT because its nothing but endless swearing and porn.

This isn't how the majority of America talks every moment of the day. Maybe your dumb Okeys from Mystokey do but not the majority of the American people...

Sirius and XM :thumbsdown: :(

Me liek dey tekno moozik. Tekno moozik da bomb.
It's hard to find good comedians in general, and well, pop music is abhorrent to my ears. I'm usually finding good music in good alternative.
I agree, I can't even understand how people listen to this crap about how a black dude thinks this black girl is sexy. Just say "hey you're sexy" instead of "DAMN GIRL LOOK AT DEM HUGE@$$ HIPS" or some other crap nonsense.

I agree that you can hear the "F" word and explicit sexual references on satellite radio. Saying that satellite radio is only that is, at best, an uninformed statement. Channels that broadcast sports and political talk radio, national and international news, NPR, classical music, rock, blues, opera and country western are all available alternatives to the things to which you object.

Oh BTW, if you're planning to insult a whole group of people, at least have the good grace to try to spell the words correctly - it's "Okie from Muskogee".

Huge Opie and Anthony fan here. I also like Ron and Fez on 202. I think it's the only reason I subscribe! I actually don't have XM in my car, but have found a way around it.... I pull up XM Online on my phone, hook it into the AUX port, and listen away! It doesn't have very good quality over the phone's internet connection, but it's just talk radio.

Which is the begining of the end of Satellite radio.... soon we'll have the internet in our cars (if you don't already) and we'll just be streaming off the net via Shoutcast or whatever...

I love my sirius and now that they bough out xm it got even better. Either way it is great for the money.

It will be the end of Satellite radio and the beginning of wide band internet. Then the ISP's will grab that money. Whatever route technology takes, we pay for it regardless. So there's not much substance in saying that satellite radio is ending when we're still using CD's anyway...
