Cool, I just ordered an AppRadio to replace my stock unit and it will not be installed for 2 weeks. Since I will not be subscribing to XM once the new unit is installed I can take advantage of the free XM until then. Nice, timing in life is everything!

Thanks for the heads up! I'm just getting ready to install my Ipod interface, but free XM for a couple weeks won't hurt, either.

Got mine yesterday, but it doesn't really apply to me because I'm already a subscriber. I have it mostly to listen to football games in the fall while we're traveling to see my school play. To me, their sound quality could stand a LOT of improvement.

They just charged me 9.03 to my card on file...

I hate them, more and more every year.
As for music... They charge you for royalties and then only play B sides.

Whatever you do, don't ever give those idiots at Sirius/XM a credit card number. If you decide to subscribe, don't pay more than $80/year and insist that they send you a paper invoice that you pay by check.

I pay with a money order. If you read the fine print on their billing it says that you "authorize" them to auto-bill you from now to eternity if using a credit card.

I've been with them twice in the past. Both times I canceled I've had no problems with the continuing the charge. I just re-upped for a third time because my '06 doesn't have a mp3 jack. It sure beats the local farm reports and classic hillbilly music you get when driving across the heartland.
