Thanks for the info. Most likely I won't subscribe, I listen mostly yo podcast and I believe that the sound quality of of XM is pretty poor.

I subscribe to XM in my Regal but not the Camaro. How did you find out about it? Did they send an email or do you periodically check their site?

Absolutely. Unfortunately I bought the lifetime XM subscription. XM sound quality sucks due to the compression.

You actually are fortunate... they no longer offer lifetime subscriptions.

i guess i am the weirdo. i like XM and have it in the camaro and my 07 envoy. i was wondering though, the sound isnt the best on XM, and i thought it was the lousy BA system in the camaro. My Envoy has a Bose system, but it sucks too.
frankly, the Monsoon system in my Firebird has both beat. but, i like XM and Pandora is good too.

Its not free if you don't have unlimited data...also if you don't subscribe it cuts you off after 30 minutes if you have not clicked on something. Another problem it relies on your cell connection, in our area you have a lot of dead areas just like XM.

Is the sound quality different in different areas? Here in Jersey, it's as clear as my music from a USB, Phone or AUX. FM/AM is where the quality is poor.

I like having XM and don't mind paying for the subscription. However, I caught them trying to bill me for another year even though I had nine months left on my free trial service and an additional 6 month credit left over from the car that I traded in. I like the service but I have no trust for how they bill for the service.

I've never had a dead "area" for XM, like with my cell. My Dodge truck gets great XM reception no matter where I am. Not so in the Camaro - I blame the Shark Fin for that. XM cuts in and out just driving under overhanging tree limbs.
