Have been looking into to this for the family car on trips. Would like to know the pros and cons. Can you have multiple radios on one subscription?
Any and all advice greatful!
 
Only cons I know of is the cost.
Won't rent a car without it.
 
Monthly charge!
 
Additional charge for each radio - goes by the id number on the unit. We have one that transfers from the car to a home unit, and back to my garage. One unit, three players, one charge. If I kept a different unit in each player, it would be three charges.

Yup, and the additional subscriptions are cheap. I can't swear to it, but I think they're something like $4.95
 
I have it in my Santa Fe and like it. Lots of good Music channels and as long as you have view of a satellite you can receive. My only complaint is that on some of my favorite non-music (Like Laugh Attack, Etc) stations, there seems to be more commercials than actual programming; but the music stations are mostly music without too many interruptions. I pay annually so its a bit cheaper per month.
 
I got mine for life not sure if they still have option.Payback was something like 3 years which has now passed for me so it's free. I can move it from car to car or the house.

Cheers

Now that I have an iPhone with apps like iHeart Radio, Stitcher, Pandora, etc., I'm not sure I will continue with SIRIUS. (Except I need to find a way to integrate my iPhone into my radio (none of my car radios have an iPod interface built in, darn it!

That will work for a car with the antenna in the windshield, but our Santa Fe has the antenna on top of the car and very far back on the rear. I've read on Hyundai blogs that the FM transmitters don't work very well. Due to the low power of those transmitters (per FCC regs) the device needs to be relatively close to the antenna. Might be worth a try though.
 
Boss, Don't think there is a law that you have to own a vehicle with the name of a city in your state.
If there is ,I'd better go buy a Tacoma

I could have bought my Santa Fe in Santa Fe too (but I didn't)
 
Thanks All for the replies. I looked at the bundles offered over the weekend. The jury is still out!
I use Pandora at work but they now have advertisements and you can only listen for 40 hours a month...
 
Not totally related but, I thought the deal Mini had for awhile was pretty decent. You got free Sirius radio as long as you owned the car when you bought the in-dash radio with the car. I've got it in my airplane and in the work airplane but we never really use it.
