For me, it's worth the 3.99/mo ... A little less if you pay for it advance -- I'd rather of course it was free, but such is life. Key challenge is it seems to download from the Satellite only every 15-20 mins or so, so it can be a little dated on the realities of how quickly traffic can sometimes change, but the main thing I like is I can set a destination in the Nav and it will suggest a reroute if traffic is really blocked up ahead. It has saved me a couple of times not getting too deep into problem areas here in San Diego as well as up in LA when I was headed to Simi Valley one morning. I tend to set destinations for even normal routes I travel often because of that capability. From your profile, it looks like you're also in SoCal, so all major freeways are covered including the 15 to Vegas except for a shorter stretch this side of Vegas... The roads that are covered around here are similar, if not the same, as the roads you see local TV news showing maps of... If a person lives in more rural areas or does not use freeways that have the road sensors highway patrol, news, etc make use of, there would be no value in subscribing...
Actually, I live in Bay area (NorCal), so traffic is not LA-bad, but it could be very horrendous during rush hours. Sounds like it is worth giving it a shot, at least.

The good thing is, you can try it month-to-month... There isn't a lot of financial risk that way, and then if you like it, consider some amount of prepay to lock in the price with a bit of a discount. Good luck!

I love XM and have it in my 2011 Chevy Avalanche, 2012 Corvette Grand Sport, RX450h and Tahoe trade-in. The Lexus has terrible XM reception, in and out when under tree canopy. No issues in the GM products. Anyone else experience poor XM reception?
