I just received an email from siriusxm stating that they hope I'm enjoying my trial. If my memory serves me correctly isn't the corvette supposed to get a 1 year trial? The email mentions it ends in December which is for a 3 month trial. All my other cars were 3 months.

 

[glen e]

yes 1 year...call em...

Just looked at my window sticker and yes it's for 1 year. Now I have to deal with my dealer again!!! Talking to Siriusxm is terrible.

I thought the 3LT got one year, all others 3 months. Part of that other $4000 upgrade from LT2 to 3LT.

2lt gets one year....

Here's what the order guide states, though window sticker is certainly as important, or more so:

This happened with me on my '13 427 Convertible. I think XM just does that to everyone and hopes someone will start paying. The trial on my car ended after 3 months. I called and complained, quoting my window sticker. They then gave me another full year of free service, which is just about to end.

Good to keep in mind! Thanks.

Good to know. I bet you're right. If it wasnt for these posts some of us may not have known. Honestly I didnt even think about it and assumed it was only for 3 months. My Mercedes was for 6 months initial subscription.

Are any of you finding that your music is being interrupted by random ads from Sirius which you have no control of?

 

[scottsdaledave]

Funny that you say that. I thought of it last weekend and was thinking - since when does XM have ads on stations? Is that normal? Or do you think this is because of 1 year free service?

 

[Chip]

As everyone knows...Free usually means "strings attached"

ads are now part of Sirius...if oyu want the renewal rate to be as low as possible, follow the following instructions:
1. LET THE SUBSCRIPTION EXPIRE
2. then they will start calling you - tell them you can't afford it
3. they will offer some crazy rates to keep you
4. NEVER GIVE THEM A CREDIT CARD TO RENEW - tell them to send you an invoice and you will send them a check-otherwise they renew you automatically at the end of the new period...

Make 'em beg for your business and they will reduce it a lot. My last 4 cars I have done the above and got it for $28-30 for 6 months...

Now Onstar is a diff story..they will let you walk....no reduction - they still want $15 a month...

 

[Redc7]

True, I've never paid more than $5 a month. In fact my XM is about to expire and I've already gotten a letter in the mail to renew at $4.99 a month.
As far as Onstar I have heard of folks getting a discount but it doesn't appear to be very common. I let mine expired on my last car and never got a discount offer to renew.

Is the sub you get FREE the premium or basic? I have it in my other cars and Im a big Howard Stern Fan...Howard only plays on the premium subscription?

 

[glen e]

Ch 100 and 101 are part of any chevy subscription....

 

[Redc7]

Mine I'm pretty sure is basic as I don't listen to Stern anyway.

 

[scottsdaledave]

So how long is the OnStar subscription with the vehicle then?

OnStar is a 6 month directions and connections subscription, 5 years on the phone remote link app; the XM is 1 year for 2LT and 3LT, and 3 months for the 1LT to the best of my knowledge (and reading off of my window sticker).

I just bought a 2014 Stingray convertible yesterday (5-7-14). Called SiriusXM today and "Elizabeth" claimed that my car has a 3 month trial. I read to her right off the Chevrolet MyLink page about the 2014 Stingray being 3 months for the 1LT and one year for the 2LT & 3LT. I then asked for her supervisor who "conveniently" could not come to the phone. She then referred me to customer care 1-866-635-2349 and they hung up on me! I stopped SiriusXM on the Camaro I traded in last year as I usually listen to HD Radio or CD's/MP3's. I then got the notices for 6 months for $20. I guess I have to report this to the dealer.
