I guess I lucked out. The original owner of my truck must have bought a lifetime subscription. Mine
has been playing for five years now, and I've never heard from them. Only place to get 'Bluegrass

Maybe that's why he got rid of the truck.
I don't "get" the concept of Sirius unless you happen to live in a
really ****ty media market with limited choices of radio programming or
you don't have a little player that holds hundreds or thousands of your
selections you can play through your car radio. My truck's radio came
with about a half dozen of these subscription services pre-programmed
that you have to sign up and pay for...not likely I'll choose any of them.

These satellite radio stations are good for people who want to just
hear music and not commercials. There are lots of different channels
with some that just play obscure stuff like all Elvis, all Buffett or
all Grateful Dead. I understand it for folks who are not willing to
figure out the MP3 thing or just don't want to fool with it.

BTW I am sure your truck has ports for a couple kinds of flash media
and if you got the good radio it probably has a hard drive. I am not
sure how big the drive is but the Dodge I rented ate 4 gig and didn't
even bump the "gauge" off of empty.

Ports it has, but I haven't probed deeply enough to determine if it has
a hard drive. It also has a wireless charging pad for a cell phone and
an AC electric receptacle in the bed.

Heard someone talking about those pad cellphone chargers on the telly. Thought they said Apple IPhones don't work on them unless you buy a separate 'case'???

Yes, the current iterations of the iPhone don't work with the pad
chargers. There are adapter and cases, but the reviews of these I've
seen are mixed. The iPhone 7 probably will allow the use of a pad
charger, but...I don't know whether that means it will work through the
sort of heavily padded iPhone case I prefer.
