I have Pandora and I love it. The cost works out to less than $3.00 a month and I can have it at home off of my computer or on head phones anywhere in the house off of my tablet. I like lots of kinds of music and can program stations so to have the type of music I want each day. Sometimes Opera, and sometimes Celtic or maybe just some really good jazz. I know you can get it for your car if you are getting other satellite stations.

I've only noticed one drawback, the radio fades out in certain areas of town. Thanks for your input.

When it comes time to renew, cancel it and they will negotiate a better price for you. Also, there are different plans
available for different prices.

I have had Serius and enjoyed it everyday as I was traveling to work. Now that I have retired I cancelled my service.
It is good to have if you are on the go everyday.

Bought a KIA Sorrento --2011 Had Sirius XM for 3 months b ought in Ontario Canada . Didn't renew then in Oct local radio started playing Christmas music while I was in Florida for winter. I walked into the house and said that we are ordering Sirius XM again. What a problem because car was in Fl but had to buy through Canada --Naturally, it cost more in Canada but we got it anyway. I really enjoy it even for short times if you can afford it. Don't like that they automatically renew the contract and we didn't know that until we found our bank account with the money taken out.
NEVER thought the day would come that I would be glad to pay for RADIO service.

I use my CD player and listen to audio books. That's it!! Oh, and the CDs are free from the library. I actually started doing this when all these satellite radios were not available and I got tired of fading radio stations as I drove along.

Have Serius.....LOVE it! Especially when we go on vacation...no more searching for new stations as we get into unknown areas!

I love my Bluegrass station. My son purchased a receiver for my mini van a few years ago, but the monthly cost for so out of hand, I let it expire. My "new" (new to me) car came with lifetime subscription to Sirius radio. Only basic package, but since I don't pay for it, the stations I have are just what I need.

I have had it in my car for 3 years now, I can't imagine being without it. I only do town driving for the most part, so local radio would be fine, but I have become addicted to the 60's on 6. Reliving my childhood I guess! :)

We have had Sirius in out last three cars and love it, especially when travelling.
There are a lot of areas when you travel that you just can't get anything on the
radio. We always renew it too.
