Yes, Sirius XM sucks, but I'm happy to pay the price for seamless music and not having to fiddle with my phone while driving. Sirius is also great on long trips for obvious reasons. But yeah, quality is poor and in the peak of summer I'll lose coverage at times due to tree/leaf cover.

Why I like Android Auto, no fiddling.

And FWIW I have Sirius/XM in all three of my vehicles, and get all for 50% off every year.

I have it on mine too, and never pay full price. As long as thats the case, I'll keep it

Sound quality beats satellite transmission hands down.

Funny note: The subscription is actually cheaper, too.
No cell service on ATT or VZW going up through the mountains in VT. Once I get off the highway things get spotty.

Same, I never pay full price. I get the full thing with online streaming for the promo price of the plan with no streaming. They are hurting, so they will throw deals at you if you ask...

Now, THAT'S an issue.

That basically leaves you no choice then.

You've got that right. RT 4 in VT going from I-89 to Killington has some of the worst cell service imaginable....
But it's VT, not there to enjoy blazing LTE speeds, more like the white mountains...

I got my 2017 Prestige with Bose yesterday. I hooked up my phone and Amazon Prime music sounds awful. I hooked it up with a lightning cable via carplay and also tried bluetooth and both sound the same. In the app I have highest quality selected. There is little to no bass at all. Subwoofer and bass settings are maxed. XM sounds 5x better no joke. Significantly more bass and much clearer. What am I missing? I also have an sq5 with b&o and amazon prime sounds really good compared to XM.

I got a 2019 yesterday with Bose. It sounds decent. I came from HK in my X5. The Bose sounds much better on serius than the HK did. No real complaints other than it’s difficult to figure out what settings I like.
