So I planned on doing this myself... But then one day before taking a long drive, I couldn't sign into the app. Without me doing a thing, Sirius cancelled my (very decently priced) subscription. When I called to ask about it, through very broken English I was told someone bought my old truck and moved their subscription to it and that killed mine apparently. He made me read my VIN twice to him because he couldn't get it through his head that my pickup DOESN'T have a compatible radio and insisted I use the free trial. He then tried selling me the streaming-only service which is 'impressively' $3 per month higher than my pickup plus streaming. I don't know. I love my truck but these first world problems are annoying... Ha ha.
Ya, I guess when they bought the truck and called in the number it put it on their account and killed yours.
Now that you know thats what happened I'd see what deals you can find on the website (or when they start mailing you non-stop) you can get on streaming only. If I call in at billing renewal and they don't immediately give me what I want I just hang up and call back vs arguing with someone.

THAT'S what got me salty... After years of doing that every 5 to 6 months based on what the current "best offer" was, this last time I called I thought I hit the jackpot where I was paying like $5.35 per month and just a recurring billing that didn't expire (well according to the customer support, I was still planning to call to check in on that..)

I think connecting thru your phone to listen to music while driving on the highway is crap - if you spend any time on the road and drive thru dead zones.
We have far too much of Arizona without good cell service.
Glad we like our current truck.
By the way, wasn't really thrilled with the ride of HDPP, will probably look again in a year to a 2024, see what is offered then.
Good luck everyone - GO Chiefs!!!

LOL, and so it starts. I'm not sure if this is a new form of chess level marketing or not, but this seems rather counterintuitive. You've right now got the used vehicle market prices declining rapidly, and Ford (and others) are busy force deleting options seemingly at random, providing $150 dollar discounts for your trouble, while continually raising msrp to the point the vehicles are now 10k - 12k more than they were 14 months ago. Genius level marketing.
