I'v just spent the last 2 hours on the phone with someone in Sri Lanka or somewhere, trying to correct the errors they made on my Sirius/XM account and still have no resolve. I understood about half of what she was saying. Finally she said to call back in an hour when a supervisor would be available to "splain" it to me. All the supervisors were on other lines with other customers complaining.
I am going to cancel my account and go back to FM unless someone can tell me of another satellite Provider.

I left XM several years ago and now use iPhone 100% of the time. Most of the time I listen to Podcasts and I listen to music the rest of the time.

I updated the radio in my 1999 Honda Civic to an Alpine model with RCA inputs. I use a simple Belkin adapter to charge my iPhone and get audio out.

Actually, I need to find a new adapter since I upgraded to the iPhone 3GS. The audio still works fine but it doesn’t charge.

When I was looking for in car solutions, I found that the easiest solution was to buy an aftermarket stereo head unit that would have a 3.5mm aux jack or even rca inputs. Some will require an adapter cable that runs ~20 bucks or so. This was several years ago so I’m sure that prices are cheaper for the same functionality.

This has allowed me to listen to anything with an out, computer, ipod and yes XM.

As far as programing and leaving the service I am torn. I need the baseball fix and several of the stations are awesome. But after the merger, the DJs seem more annoying. And now more cash?! I’m sticking with it for now as XM and internet are my entertainment (no television).

I love my XM. I cant live without it now. We have an Ipod and it does not compare in accessibility. I often find myself stumbling, while driving, to skip songs in a playlist of 15,000 songs. Xm has a professional line up, and very easy to use- especially with the XpressR and Xpress RC. I fully support XM.
