Default XM Radio on

How many of you folks have XM radio and feel it's worth it. I'm thinking about getting it, but it seems kind of expensive after all of their taxes and fees. Wondering if I should just stick to the iPod.

It's garbage. Lousy reception & poor sound quality when I had it on my 09. Stream Pandora and the like.

You typically can get XM for $25/6 months intro rate. Then if you call & try to cancel after 6 months they'll extend it. Not too bad if you look at it that way.

Expensive but worth it for me. I hate commercials. You have to call and stay on top of the best prices and offers.

Just got 12 months for $60.I call just when it's about to expire and tell them you want to cancel.they'll move on price rather than have you cancel.

I like it.
Feel it was worth it. Its the laziest way to get music and the streaming app.even with the quality of sound going down. I stream from my phone in the house(bluetooth) and in the car(aux),on bike the box that goes inside the fairing.

Took a chance and got the wilson antenna, works a lot better

For $5 a month it’s ok I use free pandora but when you’re on the road a lot of places have no cell service. Then I have XM so I get it for six months when I’m touring cancel when I’m close to home during winter months

I take that deal every spring, so I've got it almost all of my riding season. I time it so it includes my long trips. It's worth it for me, since I listen to it almost all the time.
