You don't have to wait for that letter! just tell them that you have the letter in your hand. and ask if they are willing to honor it to extend your service. they usually honor it

Just thought I'd chime in after renewing today. They wanted $250 for xm premier and nav traffic auto renew. I told them no and was finally able to get 6 months of premier and nav traffic incl all fees etc for $47. I like the premier as there are a few channels I like on it. if you can be patient and deal with a 10-12 min call then when you are close just call and use the cancel routine it works.

There is no Nav traffic or weather on 3IS. It can get it via HD radio only for free. I'm not sure if there's even a way to get traffic via satellite.

I think you ought to check out all the HD radio stations first before sinking any money into SiriusXM. I found that there aww better stations on HD radio and it is pretty much commercial free.

Just an update...
All I did was call and say that my friend got a deal for $25 for 6 months and right away they said they could do that, but the package didn't include a few channels like Stern, Opie/Anthony, and some sports channels, which I was OK with. No games or back and forth, threatening to cancel, etc.

Default sirius radio

We received it as a gift and really liked it. A lifetime offer was sent through an email for $400. and it could be activated in the future for up to three different receivers if we chose to upgrade receivers. That was about 8 or 9 years ago. We live in the boonies with few choices for radio. Our receiver is portable and we have the antenna and wiring in two vehicles and one "boombox" so we just move it as needed. Might be something to ask about if you really like sirius.

I ended up paying $131 for all access and internet streaming for 12 months. This included all taxes and fees. Probably not the best deal but good enough for me. no
No arguing or back and forth involved.

Same boat. I needed all access vice select because of Howard Stern. I'm happy!

How many months of free service do our cars come with?

And, can the balance of a subscription from another car be transferred to the Lexus?

Just called Sirius and happy to report they can process a "swap" of service from either a Sirius or XM car to a Sirius or XM car!

No regrets subscribing to XM Sirius! This song from my favorite musical was playing. I love the variety.
