I just assumed that every new car had satelite radio capability. It has all other kinds of fricking technology that I will never use. But no XM? Are you shitting me?

I called XM and they are sending me a radio. Is this thing gonna be worth a shite? Am I gonna have to duct tape it to the roof?

This seems very unusual.

Try silly putty, it's more durable than duct tape.

I haven't used XM in well over a year. XM sucks.

Exactly. You should expect a certain amount of luxury in your new Ford Fiesta

not really a big deal...just means that you won't have the satellite functionality unnecessarily cluttering up the works after the free 6 months trial period expires and you decide not to pay like the rest of us.

With Pandora, Spotify, Google Play Music, Amazon Music and others, XM will go bye bye like just like what is happening to cable today.

Auto makers are slowly deleting satellite radio from their lineups outside their top trim levels. Less and less people including young adults are using Xm/Sirius.

Their shady billing and pricing is not helping them expand.

Are you a fatty that just bought a sonic?

I use xm only for the live sports. Worth it to me. Plus the app is good for sports as well if I'm working

It's $150/yr for music, PGA Radio, nav, and traffic.

Like .50/day for those three things. Live a little, baw.

did you not inspect the vehicle beforehand? I feel like this shouldn't be a surprise. Listen to pandora or Spotify like a normal white person
