    OK so...Got my three free months with a 2018 purchase but just had Sirius expire this weekend in my Honda which I still drive. I really don't want to spend the money to keep two vehicles operating with subscription radio, yeah, I've got the money it's just the point. Is there any other option out there other that Sirius anyone uses or know about. I never pay full price as it is I always call and threaten to cancel then the offers to stay start fast and furious. Wish they'd just drop the price for everyone and save the inevitable B.S. every six months or so. What are some of you folks doing about your radios?

    I'm always listening to Amazon Prime Music streaming connected from my phone to the radio via Bluetooth...I love it. They have a HUGE library of music...plus no ads or talk. The Alexa voice control works great.

    I think I pay like $8 a month on top of my Amazon Prime subscription.

    Still got free Sirius in the 4Runner I'll just let the three months expire then re-up when they send me a discounted 5 or 6 month trial for like 35.00 which they always do. Expecting it soon now that I let it go in the Honda also. We're constantly being sent the "please come back" deals sent to us with the two Accords having XM.

    I have had XM for over 20 years. And will never actually Cancel... but yes -I THREATEN every 6 months. May I suggest what works for me:

    THIS IS MY CURRENT NEGOTIATED Price:

    2 Subscriptions - (car and Truck) - ALL ACCESS Premium channels and streaming included
    $50 for 6 months.

    it would Normally be $12.95/mo for 1st vehicle -
    9.95/mo for 2nd vehicle
    3.99/mo All-Access (Allows Streaming On your laptop, And on the PHONE/tablet APP)

    This works for US because we utilize it alllll the time- as she drives and listens on her laptop at work...and I listen on my truck, and at the house.

    But yes - the trick to to remind yourself to be Bad Guy every 6 months..
    The only Better Deal was the $299 LIFETIME subscription - which they took away about 18 years ago... :(

    You could always use iHeartradio that's in the Entune Suite, too. My free trial just expired, so I use Amazon (I don't pay for "unlimited", though), my own library, or iHeartRadio.
