My free period ended last week. Had it for 3 years with the previous vehicle. I think I'll miss it, but I'm going to try going without. Now that I'm retired, I just don't drive as much.

XM fading in and out?
I've had it in almost every car I've owned over the last 10 years. I've had factory radios with the service, aftermarket receivers, even 1 of the portables for a while. In hundreds of thousands of miles, I can count on 1 hand the number of times it has "faded", and each of those was for an obvious reason... tunnels, mountains, etc. |

No problems on any of our three cars whatsoever, been enjoying it for many years at a very fair price every year, looks like we have been very lucky.

Only listen to a few stations, but local radio sucks. And is even worse living in the suburbs where the only channels I want to listen to fade out. |

I go to the bank, the ATM has a car-port cover over it. Yep, XM fades out. Bridge/tunnels. Yeah, same thing. You are lucky (or only 1 handed). This is useless crap that costs major $$ for the service provided. Commercial free? Hardly. Self-promoting BS. Tell me that's not a commercial. |

I drive >20k miles a year, much of which is out of town. I always have ESPN, I always know where to find whatever music I feel like listening to. It may cut out for the 30 seconds of a 15 hour drive that I am in a tunnel, but it works in a hell of a lot more places than over the air radio works. Worth every penny as far as I'm concerned. My annual cost for XM in 3 cars for a year is less than the cost of a tank of gas. |

Mine has been gone. I don't miss it at all. I axed sattelite service for the tv too. Miss it a little because I like watching college football, but other than that, don't care. We have netflix, so it doesn't make much difference.
