That's my problem - all I'm interested in is the Travel Link data when I'm driving on a trip. I've got a couple other sources for all the music I want to listen to.
However.....I don't think you can just get Travel Link at any reduced price. I believe it's just part of the data that comes down in their signal, so I think it's all or nothing.
Anybody have any info on getting just Travel Link?

Man I had sirius for 4 years before i cancelled and they talked me into the 6 months/$25 deal. then i cancelled when i was laid off in 09. Now i have it in the nre truck and don't know how i made it through without it. In my area I have 2 country radio stations and an oldies and a 70's rock station. THAT'S IT! I'm hoping i can ride this deal out for quite a while!

lots of good replies, thanks.
Got my first "come back" email today. They are offering 1 year for 86 bucks. I am holding out for a better offer.
And I got to admit, I like Sirius. Beats the heck out of the commercial radio in Knoxville. But I recently converted to MP3 every CD I own that I would possibly ever listen to. Got to be 3000 songs. I have a thumb drive with all of that hooked up to USB2. It plays way better music than Sirius. So I can wait them out.

Of all the things I have been "surprised" with by my new F150, the sound quality of Sirius is the most surprising. It's TERRIBLE. Have XM in two other vehicles, and it sounds fine. This is no better than digital AM radio. Seriously doubt I will sign up after the trial, as everything I would listen to I can get through my iPhone.

I bought my truck in April. Sirius is good til October but last month I got a email to renew early and get 5 months for $25 so I did. Good til March of next year now.
But I've had Sirius before, and never have paid asking price. First time I got it I paid regular price for 3 month, called to cancel at the end and have done so ever since. It always goes like this. Call to cancel and stop subscription,
Me - hi, I would like to deactivate my account
Them - would you like to renew for $90 for a year?
Me - no, I just want to turn it off
Them - ok , hold on a minute. we can offer you 6 months for $25 if you stay with us.
Me - hmmm, ok, I'll try that for now.
Has worked for over 3 years.
