How long did your XM last?

Funny you say that. Mine went on for 6 months after it was to expire, then shut down.
You'll get a letter for a renewal letter at about $190 a year. You'll balk, cancel, and the dance begins.
My wife & I now have a yearly (her Jeep & my Ram) for $45.99.
The service I like, the negotiation of price? Bizarre, to say the least.

When I bought my RAM it came with a 1 year subscription.

Mine lasted one year to the day, I'm still waiting for them to give me an offer I can't refuse. until then I listen to music off my hard drive :smileup:
Ya but it's all the useless stations. This last weekend I think I turned on XM twice, then just went to Pandora through my cell phone.
Think my XM lasted about 2 weeks past expiration. After 3 letters they pretty much stopped trying to get me back, no calls or anything.
mine was for a year, but kept going for another 6 months past that, then when they cancelled it and called to see if I want to buy, I told them I just got the truck a few months ago and they re activated the 1 year trial for me haha. But my buddy talked them down to 50 a year, so they are completely negotiable.

I've had two ram trucks with sirius free for a year, and they have cut me off three times in each truck, about three months before my subscription ran out.
with my 2013 ram, the signal drops, sxm wants more money if you want Howard Stern, and besides the fact they cut me off twice, they wouldn't extend my subscription.
after repeated phone calls from their csrs, I told them to stick it! I'll listen to music through my iPhone!

They do this a few times a year. They turn it back on for 2 weeks, supposedly with limited number of channels ( I think 64) None of the premiums. They are trying to attract you back.

Mine was supposed to be a year free but went on for over 2 years, I'm not sure why but I enjoyed it. I would love to have it back but not for the price they want.

They don't exactly inspire confidence!
I started getting harassed before the year free trial was up. Complained about a few things and really had no desire to pay for the high prices they were asking until they offered a 6 month rate about 1/2 normal price.
I wanted nothing to do with paying by card as they have a HORRIBLE reputation for automatically charging your card when your time runs up, whether you want them to or not. So we sent a check. They claim they never got it and it hadn't been cashed so against my better judgement I paid with a card with a promise (yea, right) they would not automatically charge it after 6 months.
After we paid the first time we started getting calls after only a couple of weeks saying we were overdue--this was not much more than a week after the year trial ended!
Then the first time I called the number when they wanted to keep me as a customer I had a nice clear english speaking lady to work with.
After we signed up I swear I couldn't understand whole sentences of the foreign gal they had me talk to. Be darn careful if you deal with them as she was going to sign me up for automatic renewal which means your card gets charged withought you agreeing to re-up and you have to fight them to get that restored if you want to end service. I must have asked here to repeat herself 3 times, and only after I explained what I wanted and did not want did I get the feeling we were in agreement and she wasn't trying to get me to buy into something I didn't want.
And somehow the 30 dollar deal ended up costing me 40 bucks....
I am not sure I'll re up again unless it's as cheap or cheaper. Just not worth it the programming isn't that great for me and I commonly have service disappear in the trees and hills--and we don't have many tall trees or real hills around here!

My XM subscription should expire within the next week or so. I bought the truck on October 4th so we'll see how long it lasts.

Still Going
This truck is over a year old and the Sirius still works! Same thing in my car! A few years back they had the "Free Trial" around Xmas. I activated it and it never turned off! Googled it, and turns out I'm not the only one. Seems that they just forget to cut your signal sometimes...and never shut it off. Might be worth it to do the trial and see if they forget. Yes, I feel slightly guilty...but I'm not going to correct their errors for them!
