How to Get the XM Free Trial in My Car?

General Discussion
1

I’ve been looking into getting a SiriusXM free trial for my car, but I’m not sure where to start.

Here’s what I’m curious about:

  • What are the steps to activate a trial if I just bought a new or used car?
  • Are there specific dealerships that typically offer better deals on these trials?
  • How long does the free trial usually last?
  • Any tips or experiences you can share about getting the free trial?

I’ve heard mixed reviews: some people say they got a few months free, while others had to jump through hoops. Any insights would be hugely appreciated!

I just activated the XM free trial in my car last week, and I love the variety! I’ve been listening to some great stations that I didn’t even know existed.

I totally agree, idixon! I’ve found the commercials to be annoying too. But some channels are better than others—any favorites?

I think I got the free trial a few months ago. The best part is listening to the comedy stations during traffic! It really lifts my mood.

I didn’t find the free trial experience appealing. You get bombarded with upsell offers right after the trial ends. Very off-putting!

Oh, absolutely! The comedy stations are gems for my long drives. I didn’t expect to laugh so much!

That’s frustrating, amandagarrett! I’m a bit worried about that too. Did they reach out to you constantly?

I talked to a friend who has XM, and they said the free trial is a great way to see if you really like it. I’m thinking of trying it myself!

Definitely do it! It’s fun to explore new music without any commitment. Just be ready for those upsell calls afterward!

I’ve had a mixed experience. The music was great, but I found the commercials to be quite frequent on some channels. Has anyone else experienced this?

11

I’m really curious about how the trial works. Do I need to sign up online or can I just call?

12

Honestly, I’m just here for the sports talk! If the free trial includes that, I’m in. If not, I’ll stick to my regular stations.

I’ve tried the XM free trial and found it pretty decent! The music variety is vast, and I love their exclusive shows. How does it compare to something like Spotify?

14

Great question! I’ve used both, and while Spotify offers more on-demand options, XM shines with its live content and channels.

Both have good podcasts, but XM offers a different level of engagement, especially for sports. Got to love that exclusive sports talk!

I agree, XM’s live shows really enhance the listening experience. However, I feel Spotify’s playlists are simply unbeatable in terms of personalization.

I’m leaning towards XM more primarily for its diversity in genres. They also have great deals for trials. Does anyone know how to get a free trial for a longer period?

XM definitely offers a nice variety, but I found some competitors provide better quality streaming. Has anyone experienced buffering issues with XM?

19

I haven’t had major issues with buffering. XM’s coverage is solid in my area. What’s the reception like for everyone else?

I’ve heard that sometimes they offer extended trials through car dealerships, especially with vehicle purchases. It’s worth asking!
