Not keeping either of them.

I'd pay five bucks a month for XM...I'd even pay that for OnScam, but not the ridiculous prices they want.....

XM yes but OnStar no, my Samsung galaxy and nav I spent 795 for is good enough

I keep XM because whenever I used my iPhone for music, I would get a phone call while battling freeway traffic and all Hell would break loose. I had a wire from the headphone jack (no Bluetooth on my C6) and a charging wire to keep the battery up (I use google maps which sucks battery power). I'm driving, all these wires around and the phone is buzzing and ringing. It drove me nuts. And if I used Tunein Radio or Pandora, they would cut out and have commercials. Too much stress!

Now I use a dedicated iPod controlled by my head unit and XM. All is well.

I like them but am going to try to work out something for the wintertime months that us northern climate folks don't use the Corvette.

I am going to try to setup a pay-as-you-go arrangement. My car will be down for 4 months of winter every year and I will not pay for service I can't use. If they won't set it up that way, the hell with it! :smash:

Vette owners didn't get to be Vette owners by being stupid. They understand the difference between an honest one-time-only price and a sneaky $X every f***ing month, stealth draining you indefinitely.

:iagree:

I will keep the sat radio in both my SS & C7 after the free trials because I can listen to the 50's, 60's, 70's, music without having to listen to all the propaganda & advertising of the so called "free public stations". :rock:

Yes, Rock On "Golden Oldies".

On star no, XM yes in 2004 I purchased 2 lifetime subscriptions for $345 each, I guess I'm ahead in that game, I hate all the free radio and free commercials .

Just call them and suspend service for 6 months...That's what i did...

I'm talking about my C6 here :hide: I dumped Onstar right away. XM I've kept but knocked it down to Mostly Music.

I like Weasel's thinking. My 2015 will only be a fair weather machine, so NO driving from November through April (Canadian winter). Unless I can score a May to October kind of thing, both will be a waste of bux for 6 months each year.

More thinking required.

It's not difficult to set this up. I've done this for a week at a time with rental cars. I just called XM up, paid for a month, and when I turned in the rental, I called them up and cancelled. They even refunded the prorated unused portion of the month, so I only paid for the days I actually used the service. :thumbs:

good post dude. I hate wasting money on things I don't need because of other entertainment. i like free radio. I like hearing better music funny jocks, entertaining commercials and local stuff. Plus it doesn't go dead every time I go under a bridge or garage.

It is not necessarily freaking out over a few bucks. For example, I am severely hard of hearing. A radio is virtually useless to me. Same thing for voice delivered directions and verbal communications with On-star. My hearing set aside, many people simply do not want to feel taken advantage. I have a 6 year GM vehicle that I still have not paid $200 to update the GPS maps...maps updates for smart phones are continuous, and free! I can afford the $200...but I'm not going to give to GM for a map update! There are many alternatives to XM radio to obtain music...and some of them are also free! The overwhelming majority of C7 owners are reasonably financially stable. But that is no reason to be wasteful or to pay a premium price for something they either don't want or prefer a less costly alternative. To each their own.

I never used either of them

I have sat radio on my other vehicles and I will keep it on this one. I listen to about 5-6 stations and I like it because it works almost anywhere and I don't have to keep searching for a new air station every time I get out of range. Wasn't aware that I could elect music only.

I'll just do what I do wih my cable TV and run a cable to my neighbor's car....

Daily driver. I'm keeping XM but not Onstar.

Like my other vehicles I'll go to Offstar, but will keep XM. Even for a weekend driver, the $1.00 a day on weekends it costs is worth it to me.
