Free XM Radio?

Just got this email:

Dear Christoph,

Everything worth listening to is now on XM Radio.* With over 170 channels, XM brings you more of what you love, including commercial-free music, all your favorite sports, plus news, talk and entertainment. We don’t want you to miss out on all the great programming XM has to offer. So from now until March 25, we’re giving you a special sneak preview of the incredible programming on XM. All at no cost to you.

Your XM is on now. All you need to do is push the BAND/XM button and enjoy.

I never re-subscribed after it ran out...so this is sweet!

Damn I still have yet to take my car to the dealer to get my XM put back in the loop after installing my PAL. Hope they don't give me crap about installing it myself..

I had the same thing happen to me...call and mailings out the ass.....but I did eventually renew for 3 months for only 18 bucks so that was pretty sweet.....I love XM as well....it has ruined my ability to listen to regular radio

I hate XM, I let my three months expire when I bought the car then they wouldn't stop mailing **** to me to renew. I actually had to contact them to tell them to leave me the hell alone cause I didn't want anything to do with XM. There's only a handful of local radio stations I listen to and that's a rare occasion since most of the time I'm listening to my USB drive. I haven't heard anything from them about this offer so I'm good.

^ hahaha nice...well...not so nice that your car is at the stealership, but yeah...

Its working and sounds great! I never got anything in the mail, or any call once my free subscription expired. So this is a pretty sweet deal for me! Whooohooo! XMLM FTW!

I've never even use it once since I got my car. XM is the most desperate entity I've ever came across in terms of bagging you to buy something. Even after I lie about loosing my job and going to sell my car, they still trying to convince me to get XM subscription. They literally f'ing call me every 2 weeks and if I ignore their call, they will keep calling every single day until someone answers.

This is only a SAMPLE of the channels. You only get about 10-15 of the XM channels working for these two weeks so you can see if you like it.

I love XM. I never listen to FM anymore. XM FTW, no commercials!

I hate when there is nothing on.

I love it when my mp3 cd gets old and I need something different to listen to.

I wish we had Sirius from the factory

I'm looking into subscribing because it drives me nuts to have it on my car and not be able to listen, seems so convenient being right there in the dash as opposed to my plug-n-play Sirius receiver.

Hmm...

I got the email too, but my XM still isn't working. I love XM, I just HATE to send money and "support" their INCREDIBLY annoying "business practices".

They called me every day for 2 weeks until I was able to catch it.
Told them to stop.
Then a month later a "special deal" came up and it started again.

I said take me off the g-damn list, if I want it I will call you!!
