I have Sirius in two cars, my Venza which I use around town, and a Chrysler van which we use for trips from Knoxville down to FL, usually a 12 hr drive (with stops for the dogs and gas and eating. WIll keep Sirius for the van, but dropping for the Venza. Seems it's always dropping out or gets "spotty" and for $240 per year, gotta be something cheaper., Looking at Spotify to Bluetooth between my smartphone and the Venza. Does anyone know how much data is burned using streamers like Spotify???? Not as concerned with sound quality in a car as I am about cost of using the streaming source
You're paying way too much. It takes a little effort, but the only way to deal with SiriusXM is to call in advance of your rollover. When you call, one of the automated options is to cancel. Use that. You'll be connected with a real live human being who can cut your bill substantially. I've done this for seven years now - it's literally the only way to renew S/XM that makes sense.
FWIW, I have the select package in two of our three cars, and pay with tax about $28 for five months, which works out to $67 a year. My car carries the all-access package, which includes internet streaming, and that's about $50 every five months - I might be able to do marginally better signing up for a year, but this gives me everything for about $120 a year.
If I were you - and assuming you're not coming up on a renewal - I'd call the cancellation line and explain that while you like the service, the price is just too high. See what they'll do for you.
