Picked up my new BP Thu pm - yesterday hit the "XM" button on the radio and it was working. I read the paperwork and thought had to call 1-800 for free 90 day trial. Neighbor down the road has a Ford w/ freebie XM for past 14 months.
Can I get addicted for free or will this end in the near future.
Thx in advance.

The dealership activates it. As they also did mine the same way. After 3 months it will go off. But believe me. You will be addicted to it. Oh well. 100 bucks a year or so is worth it. :twisted:

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but is there a way that a dealership can replace the stereo that came with my 04 EX with the new one with the XM? Or would it be cheaper (and more simple) just to get one of the portable xm players and plug it into the aux outlet? I really want to get into the satellite thing, as I absolutely hate listening to radio with commercials every five seconds.

It would be WAY WAY WAY cheaper to either buy a new aftermarket head unit that accepts XM or Sirius or just buy (either service) a portable unit (i.e. SkyFi, Raody, MyFi, Sportster....)

Just got my new SkyFi2 w/ car kit for $69 total. Just had to buy 3 months worth of service w/ it. Total w/ shipping was $121.70 and that included 3 months service and UPS ground shipping.

Where did you get a Skyfi 2 for 69.99 with the car kit?

Uh, XM and Sirius are only commercial free on the music channels. It is the past, present and future of both. It has been that way since they both started.

Actually, XM has only been commercial free on music channels for 5-6 months.
They have both had commercials on non-music channels from the very beginning. I don't mind it on talk channels - fox/cnn/etc., but its annoying on 150.
Try Opie and Anthony - 202. Its not for everyone, but they crack me up.

I agree. Can't even listen to 150. They are just too repetitive.
