    I stream xm/Sirius into the trucks I drive so you really don't have to put your subscription into the truck but I probably need to get with the times and get pandora.

    The only reason I listen to sxm. Is because nothing else works on the thing. No fm. No am. No bluetooth. It's the only option that works.

    On that note. All my music is on the phone. I don’t carry thumb drives.

    Sxm has an app. But I listen to iheart radio. It's free.

    There are options these days.

    I dropped pandora when they started deciding that paying for their service doesnt mean unlimited skips.

    For whatever reason, they insisted that ANY channel i started would eventually be playing the red hot chili pellers, one of my least favorite bands
     
    2Tap and tscottme Thank this.

    I have had XM since it first started.
    A year ago I dropped everything and just buy the XM app on my iPhone. It’s something like $6.50 a month. I pay for a year and get a little discount.
    The app is far better than the radio subscription. Lots more channels and better lineups.
    I just plug it into the USB port, no problem.
     
    tscottme, Grumppy, 2Tap and 2 others Thank this.

    Yeah unless it's old reruns and i wouldn't know any better. I listen to her here locally on 107.3 for over 20+ years!
    A quick search: Nighttime radio host, Delilah shows she's still active.
    I was listening to her last winter working crazy hours. She's so chill it's kind of inspiring.
     
    Numb Thanks this.

    Only fleet I know of that offers paid XM is h@m in omaha and it's because they can't find drivers willing to stay out 3 weeks earning welfare wages .

    Used to have both when xm and Sirius was separated. Ya know what? It seems that everything is on a loop, even pay satellite TV. But that company that asked how to make it better with just stock am/fm radios. Just tell them they can easily find out how, just drive through the top of wy with your stock radio, you'll figure it out. LoL
