I just had this issue posted herelast week. I was in the same boat. No puck, no satellite on my 2016 XL. I got the internet radio streaming from SiriusXM on my phone and just connect to the truck via bluetooth. It sounds great. The only issue is you need to control the channel from your phone while using it in the truck. Not a big deal since you can program favorites in your phone while in the XM app. SiriusXM has a deal going right now for 6 months for $30, then like $19.50 per month including fees and taxes after that. Its a good deal. Very happy with mine plus it now allows me to have satellite radio whereever I have my phone including rental cars, work, airplanes, etc.
I'm thinking bluetooth will be my best and only option...

Sirius uses a ton less Data than Pandora. People who use XM report using it for 3-4 hours per day 5 days per week using ~2 gigs of data per month. Not bad. I just started using it and will monitor it and report if my findings are any different.

I thought about the FM tuning but I have heard bad reviews about the signal and quality of sound from doing it that way. The only other option I thought about was trying to find a Bluetooth adapter and run it off bluetooth but again, unsure what quality of sound would be like.
