You'd think they'd give it away for the first year just to get subscriber base for future years. No real competition so they can soak the existing customers at that time.

thanks op, got this deal no problem, was on the phone for 4min

shot down...was told if this was only for customers who let their service lapse for a couple months...

Shot down. Was told it was for owners of vehicles that let their acct lapse.
Cancelled service in the mean time as I was having a problem with my radio.
Might pick up the Roady $50 deal in the mean time.

Slightly annoyed.

EDIT. Should I have lied and said I had a car w/ factory xm? Would they have known?

People who don't appreciate our freedom of expression are bad for our minds. If you don't like him, then don't listen to him.

why in g-d's name would you want to hear the spartans coke addict for a qrtr back throw an interception, when you can listen to the WOLVERINES??

Just got the deal for a factory installed system. The CSR did put me on hold to check if I was eligible.

I believe that you are referring to Smoker, and if you have not heard, he has already finished his career at MSU. I give him credit for turning his life and his career around. He led the Big 10 in passing and total offense last season. Now he is on the Rams roster. I am sure that you are doing much better than him.

Yes, Jeff Smoker is gone. I was a senior when he left the team for his problem. From friends I know who hung out with him it was more of a "green herb" problem. But the correct thing is that he did lead the Big 10 in passing and offense.

I wouldn't want to listen to the Wolverines at all unless they were playing the Spartans. What's the point of listening to the Wolverine players whom are paid to play as evident through the "Fab 5 Fiasco"? I mean, people who should be in the pro's playing for a College isn't exactly a sport is it? The skill levels are very different between a College and a Professional team. If the Spartan's shelled out the same cash that the Wolverines did I'm absolutley positive that they would be ranked in the top ten in the nation as well.

Anyways, does anyone have any experience with XM and Michigan (the state of)?

I was billed $60 plus tax, no activation fee.

Got my Roady2 in the mail - called - cried like a little baby about the deal I saw on the internet last week - and after I had given up all hope of streching the deal (they offered to waive activation) I thanked the Rep for her time and understanding and stated I was looking forward to using the unit and was thankful she at least waived the activation fee - she then said she was going to go ahead and honor the website deal b/c they had had such problems with it last week. I was stunned (and happy to keep the extra $60 in my wallet).

Now off to eBay to sell the 3 remaining Roady2's I purchased.

Just an update, I called yesterday. The rep that answered could not help me so I was transferred to their retention department. Being extra polite I asked for the deal. Unfortunately, since I have had service for over a year, her and her manager shot me down as I do not qualify for the particular promotion mentioned in this thread...

However, the retention rep gave me 3 months of free service. Not bad for a 5 minute phone call with a pleasant person!
