    OK so I have a new Prius 4 w/ 3yrs free Entune and 3mo XM radio, with all the apps in Entune why would I want to pay for XM? I have Pandora and I heart radio............ great apps.

    What is everyone listening to? :whistle:

    I used Pandora for a little bit but while XM cuts in and out at times, Pandora was worse. Plus, while it's probably a NY minute thing, it just took too much longer to get the music playing using Pandora, XM was much much quicker to play upon getting in.

    Having said all that, unless XM gives me the under $100 a year deal I would not pay for them. Best is when it just never gets turned off after the free 3 months; It has happened to a few of us.

    SIRIUS with the car kit that I had for years. Easy to route the antenna in a Prius both gen 2 and gen 3, the radio is in the center console. I kept the XM for the three months that lasted for the remainder of the hockey season and didn't renew. BBC world news, NFL network, and my iPod.

    2012 red 5 that replaced a silver 2008 2 that I totaled after 156,000 miles a couple of months ago....sigh...

    i only listen to satellite radio for talk shows and sports. if i get bored, i will listen to some 70s, 80s, 90s. sometimes the comedy channel. otherwise i have a spotify account that i use my phone to listen to via bluetooth audio. i don't have entune. i personally wasn't impressed by the demo. the apps are limited and none that i use. maybe if they were to have my phone show up on the navi display so that i can use my phone/apps rather than what they consider the popular apps, i would be interested.
