Satellite Radio
I've actually been meaning to find some information on this.
So as you know, I drive a 09 Touring model, and I'm not much to listen to the music while I drive; rather with windows open and listening to the roar of the V6, but enough of that engine sound beauty nonsense, I finally sat down in the car and recognized the "sat" button. So I hit it and bam, what do you know? I get XM radio. I just wanted to get more information on it, like how long the satellite radio will last (since I know XM or Sirius are subscription based), how much it costs (or whatever), and whether or not it really matters. I listen to my own music, so I have CDs in the car and I'll probably get an AUX IN cable to listen to my MP3 player.

You should get a letter from XM shortly regarding the trial sub. Cost... I think XM + Best of Sirius costs something like $17/month. Cheaper if you buy a longer term sub.

Hmm. Sounds good, thanks for the information.
Now I just have to wait until I get that letter.

I received 3 months free. My trial is about to end in a few weeks and a rep called me and offered to extend the trial for another 3 months for $21.00
I said sure why not. Hopefully they keep doing that.

The "full" package including traffic updates is 12.99 per month. Thats after waiting on the line for 30 minutes to renew.........(speaker though so I could cruise the forum).

Guess I'll be on hold too in a month or so. ;-) On a side note, I sure do miss the good ole days of Nikon FM's, F3's etc! ;-)

I grew into photography using a Nikon FM. It's hard to surpass simplistic perfection.

i got 5mo for $20 when they called me to re-subscribe 2 mo after i canceled my subscription, so you can def get it for a very good price. (note that they do charge [re]activation fee if your radio has been inactive for some time, so it worked out to around $30/5mo)
Additionally, when I called to cancel the subscription at the end of 5mo a few days ago, they were again willing to offer another 2mo for free to keep my subscription. XM is pretty sweet if you have time and energy to deal with them over the phone to get a fair price. just thought i'd share this with everyone so you can get as good a deal as I got, or maybe even better! |

Regardless, I still won't use XM... it will just be a button on my stereo I won't use... only the CD button has any fingerprints on it right now, hahah

I've got my MP3 player running through the Aux... haven't bothered to activate the XM. I guess if its free I should activate it just to try it out...
