I am leaning towards Sirius Everything (upper middle of the packages), 2 years for 245 dollars - I don't know if they will be around beyond 2 or 3 years.
Do you use satellite radio? Which plan do you use?
Wow, I didn't realize there were so many Sirius packages! I have been an XM subscriber since the beginning and don't think I could live without it (actually I know I cannot as our GLI has it and our XC70 does not and I prefer the GLI for this reason). Of course, I complain about the XM stations repeating songs, and the quality of the sound comes and goes (compression and all that), but overall I'm very happy with it. I usually listen to various current hits, pop, dance, chill, and news stations (like NPR, CNBC, etc.). I have my ipod as a backup, but just find it is easier to move through the channels on satellite than run through a 1000 songs on the ipod (safer too, LOL).
My one wish is to have the channels change faster. Because it has to reach the satellite or repeater each time, it takes a few seconds. That, and some of the car stereos just really aren't well-designed (make it hard to move through categories/genres so you tend to just listen to your presets and not experiment). My old SkyFi boombox interface is the model of simplicity.
Have XM since it came out in all my vehicle's and would not be without it. I was helping a friend paint there office and we were listening to local radio stations and it reminded me of why I have satellite radio.
I am really liking this Satellite Radio concept. I can pick music by genre, listen to comedy shows or the news.
I am on a 3 month trial period (came with the SUV).
Do you use satellite radio? Which plan do you use?
It's evil. I also was given the 3 month subscription of XM for free and I had no intention of subscribing. But then I got addicted. It's so much better than regular radio and the same boring cds or ipod playlist. Then they gave me three more months for 12 bucks (total)...by the end of six months, I was hooked.
Just get the everything. If you buy it by the year, it boils down to like 10 bucks a month. With a 50 mile round-trip commute, it's worth it to me.
Also evil...OnStar. Again, given a year free. Didn't intend to renew. Now I'm hooked on the dang OnStar. You can get those people to do anything! Directions, phone numbers, look stuff up on the internet for you...make phone calls...it's like having a dang personal assistant in your car!
