I would highly recommend Spotify but Pandora and iheart radio are way better than XM. I have a year free of XM and it's just crap.
-Pandora= create radio station
-iHeart Radio = Real radio stations all around world
Spotify= Can select own songs or create radio station

Most any Borla cat-back exhaust system will generate ample drone that will negate the need for any in-car audio system. Problem solved.

I'm doing you all a favor that use pandora..Drop that and get Jango..Its free, no commercials other then independent artist come on every once in a while, and best of all is you can have muplte artist per station

Since our 2009 did not come with an aux input, we bought the PAL and installed it. Then, bought a cheap Ipod and downloaded 500+ of our favorite songs.
No more poor audio quality, no more blabbering DJ's, and no more criminally insane billing system.
Do NOT just let your subscription expire, they will automatically renew you for a full year at full price because their terms of service allow it. If you refuse to pay, they just send it to collections and your credit rating takes a hit.

Has anyone actually seen this show up on their credit rating if they didn't pay or are we all assuming that is what will happen. I'm thinking that their "collections" is just another XM department meant to screw with you and try to scare you into paying as opposed to an outside collections agency.
If you want to call their bluff, be my guest.
But, based on the way XM does things, I suspect that it is NOT a bluff.
Even if it is a bluff; that doesn't solve the problems of poor audio quality, blabbering DJ's, shell-game billing practices, and programming that I personally don't enjoy.

spotify -9.99 a month.
pandora- 3.99 a month
i heart radio
I like serious/xm for certain things but I won't pay anything more then the 88 bucks a year special.My subscription is up next month so I'll probably let it lapse.All that other stuff is enough for me.I will miss some of the sports stuff though If I'm in the car when a race/game is on. I send them a check for the payment.Never will I give them a cc number.
