Might be time for the administrators to consider adding a Old Folks Home sub forum to S&M.

Now you take it easy young fellow...........

X1000 XM is useless in Northern BC. No issues with Sirius. Just bought a new 4runner and i didn't realize it was XM and i almost would have went with a ford if i noticed. Hopefully i can find a sirius module for it.

XM came in my truck. Reception was awful. Put in a Sirius (sportster maybe) and it is not too bad. Don't pay the 170 dollars a year. Call them and tell them you don't want to pay that much (seemed a tad high). I ended up getting it for 70 a year.

x2 on the bad XM reception. This is my first satellite radio and I'm definitely not impressed with it or the price. Also, since my trial period expired and I renewed, I no longer get traffic alerts which my truck manual says is a function of XM. Anyone have a clue how I reactivate that feature?

I have had sirius for about eight years, gettin sick of it. Most stations play the same songs just like the local stations and a lot of replays. . There is a lot of choice but most I don't like anyway.. If it weren't free I'd prob only be willing to spend about 30 bucks a year for it.

Never had an issue with reception for either - XM or Sirius. I don't spend much time in the cities around tall buildings though. One thing I did notice recently is that you can get the lifetime membership still for XM, but not Sirius. Just something I seen on the website the other week, but I think it's definitely an advantage if you plan to keep the radio for any length if time.

They brought back the lifetime deal? Last time I renewed it was not an option.

Thanks,

Have had both and XM is terrible compared to Sirius for reception.
The further north you go the worse XM gets for reception .

Xm in my gmc is a joke. Soon as you hit the foothills might as well turn it off. I wanted it for the no radio stations between Valemount and jasper but it doesn't work! My friends Sirius in his new dodge works all the way through that mountainous terrain without skipping a beat I couldn't believe it since both our vehicles are brand new.

Yup found the same with my '07 Dmax. XM cut out as soon as I got to the BC border and was touch and go to Sicamous. Sirius on a standalone unit never misses a beat.

Ya xm in gm trucks is useless. Sirus all the way
