The stock SiriusXM radio in my 2IS is my most used, most beloved feature of the car.

I was eyeballing the 3IS, but I don't see SiriusXM as an option anymore. I know phones+bluetooth have become popular, and I can run the Sirius app on my phone but it's not the same as controlling it directly from the car.

I don't even like to be forced to have my phone with me, much less be concerned with battery, whether my phone is plugged in and all that.

Is the satellite receiver in my 2IS the last of a dying breed or can I achieve same in the 3IS?

 

Satellite radio is standard in the 3IS. Fear not, your beloved feature is still there.

 

Whew. I see it now.
Can comment on how the standard audio system (non-Mark Lev.) compares to the standard of the 2IS? About same I'm guessing?

 

Yes, the standard audio system supports Bluetooth streaming.

I cannot compare it to the 2IS system, as it's been years since I've listened to that one.

 

Thanks for the lighting fast response. So fast in fact that I went to edit the part about BT streaming, and before I could edit, snip it and re-submit you'd snagged the quote

I was reading the website as I wrote that, and saw the info after hitting submit. I guess I should start using preview feature instead of submitting and editing after the fact. Old habits die hard.

 

You're welcome. Hope you find all the information you need here.
