Besides, getting tired of constantly flipping channels to find something I want to listen to. Mainly want music & some comedy. Don't care about anything else.

I pay $88.00 for a year.

My subscription is about to run out, so I received an offer in the mail and a call from a sales representative. The current offer was 6 months for $29.95 plus fees which worked out to about $5/mo, so I said okay. I had them invoice me so they wouldn't have my credit card number on file.

My wife and I both have it and get a deal for two cars. She pays the bill and I don't recall how much it is but we both like it. I like it for the sports and comedy mostly but do have some favorite music channels. I don't really get much signal loss around here. Never tried Pandora. Didn't realize it worked off your data plan.

I used my Citibank credit card to renew. It has that cool little "virtual" card feature that issues a temporary use number and expiry date and code. Kinda cool actually. Gets put on my regular card statement yet OnStar or XM doesn't have my card info.

Jacksonville has the absolute worst radio stations on earth. They are all bad, and you have half a dozen that play the same format. XM is a must for me no matter what the cost....

Almost every market for terrestrial radio is terrible anymore. I couldn't tell you the last time I even listened to it instead of XM.

I wish Bluetooth had better sound.

I love my XM radio. Ever since I got my Camaro. I needed to get it. I am fed up with the radio stations that play the same thing over and over. And at the end of the hour all of them are on commercials. It is insane. It takes me 45 minutes to 1 hour to get to work and to get home everyday. So no matter what the price I will pay it for piece of mind.

The sound system on the Camaro is garbage anyway, so unless you're installing a custom system, the degradation from Bluetooth is pretty insignificant.

Pandora is $36 a year for the premium subscription and while it does run off the data plan on your phone, it doesn't use as much data as you would think. I run Pandora about 200 hours a month or so and it uses less than a half gig of data.

I've always had XM. My latest deal was $4/mo flat for 6 mos. The nice thing about the free two weeks is that it adds the weather and traffic alerts, which I don't get with my current subscription.

I just did that, and they gave me the just under $30 for 6 months on the Camaro, Avalanche, and our hoe system. Give them a call. You will have to talk to the first girl, her manager, and then the cancellation department, but you will get it.

you should be able to get XM for 70 to 75 a year.they always bill me some rediculous amount so i call them to get it down to a reasonable price.

Last time, after I threatened to cancel the deal was 24.95 for 6 months. With all the fees it comes out to 34.95. I offered them $50 for a year but they wouldn't go. This time I'm just telling them to cancel.

My factory system sounds pretty good with a newer CD or .mp3. Depends on the production quality and the mastering. It's not 1000 watts, but I'd rather hear the exhaust open up.
