I hate Sirius and how they control my radio in lexus 350rx. How do I get control back

Sirius XM's business model included denying cancellations. Check out the internet, it's well documented. I was a victim of their tactics. I would strongly recommend that you do not give them your credit card information no matter what they threaten or deny. If you're only dealing with cash (check) then they can't just continue to charge your card. The service itself is pretty nice, but having gone through their questionable tactics I'm reluctant to get back with them despite the low priced offers they make.

Totally agree with roadbike56: NEVER give SiriusXM your credit card number. That's a virtual guarantee that you WILL get screwed. Insist on only a paper invoice, and keep very accurate records. I was overcharged multiple times until I figured out what was happening and how to stop it. BTW- we both enjoy SiriusXM and that's all we listen to when travelling. They're just difficult to deal with.

First of all, this is the 4RX forum (2016 and newer). Second of all, Sirius/XM satellite radio is just one of the Audio Modes on your car stereo. If your subscription expires, there's nothing stopping you from just listening to FM (and HD-FM, which imho, sounds way better than Sirius/XM) and AM radios. You can also stream audio from your phone via Bluetooth if you really want to - you can then use Spotify or whatever other streaming service you desire.
I personally don't use Sirius/XM much since the sound quality is deplorable compared to the other methods. Even when your subscription expires, Sirius/XM usually gives a free "trial" period every once in a while
And no, Toyota does not own Sirius/XM. It's a different company that provides satellite radio service for all cars and radio devices.

#1.. SO sorry that this is a 2016 or newer forum only... but to respond to this snarky response,
I will again respond, that my criticism about Sirius is that
#2: NO you can NOT listen to YOUR OWN radio because Sirius interferes with just that. Perhaps your 2016 auto has a mechanism to block the miserable tampering affects that push we mere 2014s out of of our desired stations to listen to their annoying ads or to change our stations &
#3.yes I am quite aware that I can use our phone to stream but I am also aware that we paid TOP DOLLAR EVEN in the mere 2014 YEARS Thanks anyways for your oh so helpful comment. BEST!
