Are you Sirius??

Just paid for the continuation of my SiriusXM subscription as my 3 month trial is ending in 10 days.
I re-upped for 6 months All Access for $49.99 + $6.95Fee = $56.94.

Now the tricky part... If I let it renew in 6 months I pay $119.94 + $16.67Fee = $136.61. Not gonna do that.

I am not from the US, so not applicable to me, but there are ways to get it cheaper if that is what you are asking!

Have you done a search? Being IT I thought you would have done one. The following search brings up some answers. The link might not work for you because it is a UK google search...

One year $86....then even lower!

This is part of the reason I use spotify...I get to choose what I want...no cutting out, and no annoying DJ's or commercials. I haven't used Sirius or XM for years--happily.

Although I know many of you love ESPN and other exclusive channels..but if you're just about the music...try a streaming service like Spotify.

If you wait a while they will offer you 6 months for $25. I have it as part of the one year after purchase. I never listen to it. I have Pandora and Apple Music.

I listen to both my iPhone and Sat radio. The downside of streaming music is that, on the highway, (especially mountain areas), you run out of cellular. And with limits on most plans, you can use up a lot of data too.

We drove the X3 from Bakersfield to Oshkosh, Wi and back for Airventure 2015 last month. Never had a drop out with SiriusXM. That is 1 reason I like it.

My previous car, a 2004, had it as an option. I had never used Sat radio at the time, and didn't choose that option. A few years later, after using one on a car rental, I signed up. Way too expensive to retrofit my car, so I went with a portable unit for years.

Made sure my X3 had it.

I In case there is no connection available I have several of my Spotify playlists synced with my phone..so they are available without a connection. Most services like Google, Spotify, and Deezer offer that.

For me I keep Sirius for exclusive programming and not having my radio flipflop from my alternative station to various other random formats as I traverse longer distances. I also use Spotify for the exhaustive library, sound quality (Sirius sounds a bit too compressed for me), and great integration with BMW apps.

I've been trying it out, and honestly, I'm not impressed. Most of the programming is just bland to me. Then again, I listen to both WFMU and KEXP a lot, so there's that.

(I dread the first road trip with the wife, whose musical tastes are...different. We'll be listening to crappy sat radio for hours.)

for the past 5 years.......i call in and ask about that 5 month promotion....and i get it EVERY single time.....and now im doing it for my wifes car as well.

its $5 a month vs the $14 they usually charge....and i get the same exact channels. All you gotta do is call in and ask them about it, if they play dumb, hang up and call back

I love the programming on Sirius/XM but I just can't deal with the awful sound quality.
