I like XM better myself. I know on the GM's you could get inside the dash and change out the XM piece to a Sirius piece. Is there anyway to do this on the Fords with the Nav deck?
Sirius plays the same songs over and over again. Plus their customer service is horrid.
Not sure if you can do it with Ford's navigation deck, but it might not matter since Sirius bought or is thinking of buying out XM.
Yes, Sirius customer service is horrible. I have called a couple of times and can't get a straight answer to my questions.
Xm!
Yea, with the two company's combining, I would wait on the lifetime and just pay yearly! You pay I think $12/month or $120 a year... with the second reciever, it will only cost you $84/year!! I have 3, 1 full price and the other 2 are discounted!Originally Posted by greyhd
BTW I have never had a issue with CS in the last 4 years I've had Sirius!!
Having had both I got to know the customer service dept real well. I had XM factory in my Silverado, and an add-on Sirius unit in my GTO.
The sirius had worse reception in areas with lots of trees, and not as good sound quality. So I cancelled it. They blow up my cell phone at least 3 times a month trying to get me to renew with them. I thought it was the add-on unit which had the poor signal, but my factory Ford unit goes out in the same areas.
I'm glad I get it for 6mos free to see what the companies are going to do.
For rock Sirius is better, but for rap or top 40 stations XM has it beat all day long.
I had Sirius. My problem with it was that all the stations were very niche. I mean that there wasn't a station that played a broad spectrum of music. You had three different stations for hip-hop (which all play different styles of hip-hop, 2 country (old vs. new), and about 20 for rock (if you want to listen to the type of music that the regular radio stations play, you had to scan across multiple stations). Does XM do this? The other thing is that my Pioneer is NavTraffic capable through XM. Not sure if Sirius offers anything like this.
There are pros and cons to each. I have Sirius in my truck and XM in the Hummer. My fiance loves the XM whereas I like listening to NFL when I am traveling on Sundays. I like the display of the XM better because it is a lot more user friendly than Sirius. I say it just depends on what you prefer. Both have good music stations, comedy, and talk shows. Just depends on your pref. Good luck!
