XM RADIO Subscription...

[EXceptional]

First Question... how long is our "FREE" XM Radio Subscription for ?

Second Question... has anyone been sucessful in activating the "ONLINE" version of XM RADIO using the ID-CODE from the EX-35 Radio ?

Let me know, please ?

Thank-you, thank-you very much.

In the US, the XM Radio free trial is 3 months.

Mine expired on March 20. About 3 weeks after that, I received a postcard from XM offering a small discount if a renewed. On the advice of a friend, I ignored it. Friend said the offer would get sweeter. Sure enough, about a week ago, I received another postcard from XM offering me a full year for $77 (not including traffic). That's about 1/2 the normal price for a year. The offer expires in a week or so but I'm still thinking about it. You see, I listen to podcasts via my iPod more than anything else. In fact, I listen to the iPod so much of the time, I don't know when I'd fit in any XM radio time.

But... we plan to take an extended trip in the EX35 within the next year so the XM might come in handy for that.

I was not able to activate (my trial 3 months) online either. I had to call them.

I tried the online activation shortly after getting the car and was denied access. Just before the trial was up I tried again and was able to get in and set it up.
