Is anybody else getting free xm radio by any chance. I got a three month free subscription but I have not called in to register my vehicle yet. Just the other day I was messing with my stereo and I get all of the xm channels. Now I am afraid to call XM just incase they turn it off.

I used the right **** on my stereo to change the stations for the XM. On the screen though it still reads preview.

when they call you to set up the new plan...

tell them you only want the $77 half price plan for one year or you will cancel your subscription. its a winback campaign. the old promo code was "zwinback" if they ask.

tell them the dealer told you about the $77 plan.
They will give it to you.

CT Maxima

X3 on 3 months free.

The sound of XM is nowhere close to the IPOD. I don't see any reason to get the service.

Maxima2009

Thanks for the threads everybody I will try the 77 dollar plan does that include sirius.

Migoldstein

IS THERE ANY SPECIAL DISCOUNT IF YOU ALREADY HAVE SERVICE WITH THEM. DON'T THEY JUST ADD THE SECOND CAR FOR A FEW DOLLARS A MONTH?

Compusmurf

Migoldstein, just add it to your account as a family plan. It's what I did.

I brought my car Jan 2nd 2009. My XM radio is still active.

Maxima2009

I just got my renewal notice today. Not as lucky.

On the window sticker it says it has XM Traffic update. Is this not included in the trail period?

terrycs

Yes, mine was.

lightonthehill

Yes, Traffic Report was included, but those reports are only available in some cities. As the traffic report reporting system expands, this will become a useful feature.

ha! i did the same thing for the first day! It says preview 6 times down the right side????

Those are the preset names! just try saving a channel to them instead!


as for the plans... if they will not offer you a good plan, wait for your radio to be turned off, then they will call you and offer you the world!

themark1

you could just pay for it.

Dieseldan

5 bux a month is what i pay imo worth it

I didn't think I'd use my XM, so I never signed up. I've been in a fully-loaded Altima rental for a while which has XM so I've been using it. Damnit this is why they give you the free trial, now I'm going to have to sign up for it with my Max...lol

DINMax82

I had the free trial since I bought my car in June. Then my Navi went out and they replaced the whole unit. Now no more free XM. BOO!!! I thought it was a one year trial but the dealer said I got lukcy.

loslonelyman

I bought a xm radio in 2004 used, it has never been shut off since. Never even had to get an account.Thought that must happen alot.

Blackmax12

I called and asked if I could just sign up for the traffic and weather and they said no. That's all I really want but I'd have to get the radio and then add the rest.

My father in law bought a Highlander recently and told me they sent him an offer for $4 a month.

Mine is expiring in May so we'll see if I get it also

Wait a minute, there is something wrong here, Sirius XM let me sign up for just traffic and weather only.
Maybe you live in a different area, thus Sirius XM has a different market model for you?
I paid around $80-ish for just those two services for one year.

2themax11

I paid $30 for 6 months... You have to call and cancel they will offer you all different options to get you to stay... Just whenever they offer you a plan (being the 1 year for half price which comes out to 100 bucks) just say that it's still a bit expensive and that you can't afford that... My sister got 5 months for $25 bucks.

Blackmax12

I'll certainly give that a shot.

Jroctx

Any money is better than none with them. They are open to negotiation. I ignored their notice until they shut me off and offered $30 for 6 mts. Will keep doing that til I sell the ride.

SiriusXM

Hi there-

Could you please send us an email with your contact information (name, make/model, phone number) to SXM_Help@siriusxm.com, so we can help you with this.

Thanks,
SiriusXM Digital Care Team

i just got an offer in the mail for 6month for $25. pretty good deal. The problem is now people can just use there phone and use Aol radio, Pandora, etc for free.
i pretty much only used Xm for about 3 stations, so it was kind of a waste and not sure if ill sign up again. Ive been using Pandora mostly now

Blackmax12

As you can see below, I was contacted by Sirius regarding my situation. I did go to the link and sent them an email with my personal information. I'll keep all posted on how things play out.

Interesting commentary on the influence of this forum when vendors and manufacturers are monitoring it for valued feedback from their customers.

Blackmax12

That also means that they are hip to those that are getting service for free! I did try the right **** trick mentioned well below but it did nothing for me. Just stayed on preview.

Mikey Romeo Lopez

I got it free haha still for over 1 year

Blackmax12

I got a response through the forum from Sirius on just getting the weather and traffic. Currently engaged in negotiations. Will let all know how it works out.

13Maximasv

I just got an offer ( and took it) for $25.33 for 6 months

Blackmax12

Does that include the weather and traffic?

13Maximasv

What channels are weather and traffic ? I mostly listen to comedy and baseball

It's sirius select so no Stern and a few other channels

atlanta10

Weather and traffic are services not only channels. You should have the menu option on your display to look at weather information both for your city and the US.

As far as the traffic services through XM, when you use GPS, it will display traffic on your route as a red, yellow or green line across major interstates and many parkways. In Atlanta, its great as every road with a speed limit of 55 or above is on there at least in the greater metro area. When you go into other cities, you may only get one or two highways on the display.

it can be helpful if you are on a trip and not really sure how long that line of cars really is and should you detour around it

Torchcorvette

No matter what you do with XM/Sirius, do not give them your credit card number. Ask for a hard copy bill and ask them to waive the $2. fee.
If they have your cc number, they will renew your service every year using the highest rate in effect and it is hard to get them to cancel or reduce the rate.
There is a ton of threads to read on corvetteforum.com as this is a popular complaint with the Corvette owners.
I recently renewed all 3 cars for $86 each for a year. The $77 rate is no longer available.


Best of luck.

Blackmax12

Sorry should have been more specific. Atlanta10 explains it well. With the music box I tend to not use the radio portion that much and all the sports in Ma are well covered on free radio. I do like the weather alerts that come through as well as the traffic option with the GPS. That being said, for what you pay to get built in GPS, it's somewhat bogus that you have to pay extra for a feature as basic as traffic.

XM radio gives you that ? Sounds like Navigation to me which I don't have or need since I drive under 100 miles per week

13Maximasv

Red Sox fan relocated to MN so I need XM for the games, I mostly listen to them as I wash the car as I don't drive much

I don't have navigation

Jig9798

Atta boy! That's what I like to hear. Tough game last night in Toronto though, home run city.

13Maximasv

I still have a 10th man plan, sold the all for this year but in the future if you want some games get in touch with me
