$20 a month to listen to the radio in the truck after a three month free

People do this?



Sirius is a pain in the ass. They give you a free 3 month subscription
or something when you buy a new, Sirus equipped vehicle
and then hound the bananas out of you to set it up and subscribe.

I had a Sirius subscription way back when they first started and
took advantage of a "free" lifetime offer for $300. They seem to
have lost records of that.

I unsubscribed from all their emails. Don't need it. I figured out
how to pair my cell phone via Bluetooth and downloaded the Nissan app
that allows me to go on-line in the car. Subscribed to the free
version of Pandora. That's good enough in addition to local radio.


I mostly listen to one of our classical stations around here, or NPR,
and if I am "on the road," either find a local classical station or
listen to some of the 40 gigs of music on my iphone. Last time I drove
to Hilton Head, I listened to all nine of the Beethoven symphonies in
order, and played solely on the piano. It was a wonderful and
educational experience.


Bound to be so much better than Leonard Bernstein and the Vienna Philharmonic.
