But, you just said that, and I quote, "I don't know of any that got a "FREE" radio.

I'm sorry, I still don't know of any who got "free" radios.

You buy a new Acura and the tires aren't listed on the sticker. The tires aren't free.

Perhaps some OEM gave the receivers away, but I'm not aware of any that did. I know that when I bought my Infiniti FX the dealer threw in the XM to close the deal. I guess you could say I got a "free" radio but that doesn't mean someone didn't pay for it.

I'm not even sure what your point is with this. Just sounds like more rambling to me.

I will be waiting to see what happens over the next year or so; until that plays out, OR one of these companies files for Chapter 11, I really don't see how we can know whether your popsicle stand claim holds up or not.

What David Ray is failing to mention is that Sirius has a product on the market now that converts these factory installed XM radios to Sirius with minimal effort with no data loss or display. Crutchfield has already sold out once on this just released product and a small online retailer that I know has over 325 pre-orders of this product:

crutchfield.com

I wonder what Sirius' SAC is on these new subscribers?
