It's time to make a decision on XM as as my 3 month trial is over next week. What's the best rate everyone is getting? Want to add a second vehicle, any multi car discounts? Thanks.
If you call and threaten to cancel, you can probably get it for arond $95. Did that in December for my HHR. I am reaching the end of the three months on our 13 SRX, and will have to call again and hassle with them. 888-539-7474 is the direct line to the cancellation department, or at least that is what I have written down. Hope this helps.
I just threatened to cancel because I am selling my car within the next 6 months and they wanted $90 for 6 months. When I said "cancel", they gave me 6 months for $45.
After my 3 months were up XM wanted to put me *Edit* on a one year contract at the rate of $165.00 + taxes. Of course I stated that I wanted to cancel. I told them I wasn't keeping my SRX for more than 6 mths and didn't need a year contract. I also told them that I could just use my Pandora app. That is when they started to offer me a better rate. I also told them I wanted to keep the weather info too. *I found that I really enjoy viewing the great new "live" Doppler radar feature that comes with the weather on the CUE especially with all the bad weather coming in and out during our winter season. :thumbsup:
The cost quickly came down from $165.00 a year to approx. $89 for a year but again I told them I was going to either trade or sell my SRX in ... so they offered me another special package for around $49 for 6 months. However, all of a sudden they offered me another package with weather for only $39.95 for just 5 months. I agreed and took that package!
Don't ask me how they figure out their packages... seems to me the prices changes with each different scenario. :cookoo:
XM is like Tivo; they are getting squeezed by newer technologies and packages from other sources. They try to sell at "list", but they'll do literally anything to stave off a cancellation.

I have a TiVo series 2 that I purchased a lifetime subscription for. I'm not sure but it's worth checking to see if you can find 1 of these. There is at least 1 place that sells modified units, and you may be able to skip the monthly fee. It's been a while since I've looked at this site, but there's alot of good info here. http://www.digitalrecorder.com
I just squeezed them for a 6 month promo that was under $40. It was some email people got, I just said I got the email and they gave it to me. Now, in 6 months, I might be in trouble but it got me by for the mean time. I think XM is overpriced but I do really enjoy it so I'm not willing to give it up.
Thanks for the update. I want to cancel XM when it expires at the end of March. I don't want any automatic bills to come for something I'm not using. I use Pandora primarily.
Sorry Mike, I miss spoke I should have stated that XM wanted me to enroll for one year after my trial period had ended on my CC at the rate of $165.00 + $10.00 in taxes. Which would then be automatically renewed and charged to my cc at the end of one year.
XM is a total ripoff. I have MOG (MOG.com) and I pay $9.99/month for it and the things I can do with it are amazing. So what that I need to plug in my cell phone to Aux-In. It's worth it to stream at 320 kbps anything my heart desires. XM repeats the same old crap over and over again. It's worse than a commercial radio station. What a racket they have going! I need to start my own business if people will pay for this kind of crap.
WOW ... Steve calm down a little bit there buddy ... Whew :hmm:
IMO: XM is not worse than AM or FM, for heavens sake their commercials are almost non-stop . Yes, I like XM and Pandora too the price is way less than your $9.99 a month too. One of the best features I like with XM is their new "live" Doppler radar on their weather link. :thumbsup: I also like that it gives you traffic reports i.e. accidents and road work ahead etc. You might not think it is worth the money but many of us do like XM!

I don't pay for all those XM "extras" like Doppler radar. My smartphone gives it to me for free as well as the traffic reports, etc... Buy yourself a Samsung Galaxy Note II and you'll see what I mean. By the way, I'm not "simmering". I just state it all upfront like I see it. I see no need to sugar coat anything on here. We're all adults.
I like viewing it on the huge NAV screen and I do like the traffic and weather alerts. Yes I have an iPhone that has that app on it too but be honest you certainly can't drive and easily review the small screens on our cell phones.
FYI: I had edited my verbiage to say "calm down" instead. You seem to believe that because you think it is a waste of your money or time you don't think anyone should want it too. BTW: My name is Marc with a "c". LOL

I think it's great that you love your NAV screen for traffic and weather alerts. But if you'd bothered to have looked up the Samsung Galaxy Note II specs before posting, you would have found it has a 5.5" screen, a far cry from the "tiny" iPhone screen.
I'm very calm when I write on here. You fan boys just don't get it that some of us don't LOVE GM and it's issues when compared to other experiences some of us have had with other brands. I don't wish ill will on anyone on here. My Caddy experience hasn't been the talk of lore.
I hope you didn't give them a credit card number or you may be in for some big surprises. This is precisely the reason I use Discover Card for their secure account numbers. I cancel the secure account number w/o having to cancel my real credit card number. Good luck Capt'n.
Just got off the phone with XM since our 13's trial was running out in a few days. Just told them I wanted to cancel because the time we spent in the car didn't justify the full year's price. They immediately offered a 50% priced reduction. Ended up costing $96.75 for a year of just the music. That is including all royalty fees and applicable taxes. Could have added the traffic nav and weather for $21 more, but we would never use it. As long as we can get it for %50 off we will keep it. When they make us pay full price, it is gone.
Not finding any sites offering any performance additions.
Being a 2.8 turbo, looking to see what's out there. Not expecting much as that's not what the SRX is built for per say, but a tune, cold air intake, etc..Any sources greatly appreciated.
First pics of the black 2.8 turbo after vinyl wrapping over the side chrome vents and door handles.
Some 3m gloss black vinyl, and a heat gun
To me, looks better than the chrome pieces.
Does anyone know how to remove the A/C blower cage from a 14 SRX as I have some leaves in there which are driving me nuts - along with the endless rattles and squeaks from the car. :mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2:
What a mess. This was to be our "last car" and little did we know that it would be this much of a problem.
The first instance was covered by a warranty: the car was low mileage and had a nice residual. The second instance was when the car was "out of warranty" and the dealer was kind to...
Hi,
I am going to look at a couple SRXs this week, and wanted to check on reliability , issues others have had etc. Have read through several pages here and not seeing a lot of bad reports on this year model. One I'm looking at is CPO and another couple are still under factory warranty. I will...
