i DID install sound insulation if you want to call it that.
I took the easy way out which are those panels that drop behind the passenger and driver's seat. Forgot name of company that I bought it from. It was from a forum dealer here. For what I got it was expensive. I couldn't tell that it helped or made any difference at all as far any type of INSULATION FROM NOISE in Corvette interior.

I just dropped $2000 for the newest Pioneer CarPlay head unit and 4 top of the line Infiniti speakers AND a very nice backup camera. The installation was so good it looks like it came from the factory.

Default 140 channels at $99.00 for 3 years plus an $18.91 music royalty fee.

Mine was up for renewal last week. I called & was told this $99 3-year deal was not available. The best they could do was 5 month package for $6 a month. I canceled my subscription. When asked why, I told them 1.) they got rid of The Loft, channel 30, & kept replacing it with music I don't like. 2.) I am in my car only about 4 days a month. 3.) They haven't expanded the playlists to the 7 or so channels I listen to.

In the past, they have tried to up the rate, but a phone call and they usually give me the $30.00/ 6 month rate. I have threatened to cancel service in the past, and they have always given me the rate I was previously getting.
It's a dance that sometimes has to be done. It's not painful, but it is time consuming on the phone!

This promo doesn't have all channels, but heck, it has all the channels I had listened to. I think I can handle $2.75 a month for 3 years. The contract says an early cancelation will get a refund at a pro-rata basis.
Do you have an image of the promo? I called and they looked and never have heard of this.

Hell yes, they will auto renew. I cancelled my subscribsion a couple years back because of it. I told the rep on the phone at least 6 times I wanted renewal notice by mail and not auto. When renewal time came, they billed my card caysing an overdraft fee from ny bank. I called and got a refund. They then bombarded my mailbox with special offers. I did end up subscribing again, but I pay by check. They are not getting a CC number. Plus, they are counting on the fact that won't remember the great deal you got in 3 years when they hit you for full price.

I too had the 3 year @ $99 for the Vette. I tried to get that deal on my DD but they said no. I guess every 6 months it will be a fight to keep up my 6 months for $30.

For some reason, I get an email a week before they're going to "auto renew" my 3 subscriptions. I mark my calendar and call them the day before. I seem to get the 5/$25 + fees and taxes deal all the time. I've had at least one Xm subscription since 2005.
I don't mind playing the game...

Talked with Sirius today, They indicated the 3yr for $99.00 offer expired on 6/30/18, they proceeded to quote me $15.99/ month. WOW - I said there are offers all over the place for $30 for 6months. They came across as scammers they prey on the ignorant.

Wont do business with them.

It’s their job to make as much money as possible and it’s our job to make sure they make as little as possible.
