Default Sirius removal?

Every time I scan through media sources, Sirius pops up a subscription note asking me to call or cancel. I have to go to the touch screen each time, I cannot bypass it and move on to the next media source. So it's like AM....FM....CD....Sirius (POP UP!)...push cancel.....Sirius channel 2...(POP UP!)...push cancel AGAIN.. It's a MF pain in my ***. Do I have to go through the whole FORScan route? Would the dealer do this for free?

Ford must get a kick-back for each Sirius/XM subscription, why else would they do this?

I think Forescan is the only way to remove it.

FORScan or get a subscription. FORScan is soo worth it anyway, it's cheap and it can fix little annoyances that the truck ships with or give other benefits.


BTW, I might do a subscription even though Sirius kinda sucks, my friend's free subscription was up and he called to cancel and they offered 6-months for $1...then you basically just have to put in your calendar to call and cancel in 6-months and do it again. Most are reporting 6-months for like $5 online so maybe that's more of the norm...might be worth it if you're ever in the need for a change or you just want to listen to the game.

Last time Sirius called to beg me to come back I offered them that I would take it if they would give me $10/month. They thought about it but decided not to. Oh well it was a good deal for them so their loss.

Just having to call Sirius at the end of that trial is not worth it. I've never had a harder time to cancel a service than with Sirius. F'em.
