My Volvo came with Sirius too and I find that I can't live with out it. I love the classic radio show and I love Talk Radio - where I live you can't get regular radio because I am so far in the boonies - when I go to town (its about 60+ miles one way) I listen and my trip is much more enjoyable - I will keep it as long as I can.

I had it on my new Ford Fusion for free for 6 months, but I did not opt in for additional time. I really only listened to a couple of the additional stations and for me, it was not worth the additional cost. I know that other just love this option.

I had it in my Explorer and negotiated a better price when I went to cancel after the initial subscription expired. But I'm not in the car long enough or often enough to justify the expense. My dh has it in his truck and that is excessive because he doesn't drive over a couple of hours a month. But they will negotiate on monthly rates. He never pays the full subscription price, they hate to lose customers.

I bought Sirius, especially for the Elvis station and I love it. Now I go back and forth with Elvis and the 50's. Love singing along with MY music.

No, my car has it but I don't use it. I suppose it's "had" it now, just passed my 1 year anniversary of buying the car so I'm sure it's expired now.

My car can stream Pandora (internet radio) from my phone - I pay for Pandora already because DH & I listen to it at home all the time, and now I can pull it into my car too. It uses data time up for the phone, but with the plan DH & I have we don't use all our allowance each month anyway so it's a non-issue. It's great - I just punch a button on my car's screen to launch it, I can skip tracks and change stations all I want, and it never fades out.

I do love technology sometimes. And I love my magical little rocket-car. :)

I was wondering what on earth to give my (now husband) for a Christmas gift in 2007 and my BFF in TX recommended XM radio, so I bought that for him for his pickup truck. It turned out, that was THE best gift ever for him. I got the type that can be taken in/out of the vehicle, not that we ever really did that. Then a couple of years ago when I bought my Buick, it had XM built in, so I ordered it for my vehicle. It was up for renewal next month and I told my husband maybe I'd not renew, and he said to keep it, so I did. I mostly listen to the 50-60's music.

I love my Sirius radio and have subscribed for 3 years now, don't think I would have a car without it.

We have had ours for several years. Now have it in both vehicles. It's the best for country music and classic rock.

Love XM/Sirrus in both of our vehicles ! Sometimes if the satellite is out of range or you are out of range of the satellite it will fade. For example: underpasses,parking garages etc as the signal cannot get through.

My hubs will listen to Elvis, or if something political is going on- one of those channels. I usually listen to country or NPR music radio ..

We have Sirius radio in both trucks. We love it! My husband's radio can be taken out of his truck and placed in a receiver and played anywhere.

We pay about $30.00 a month for both subscriptions.
