2 questions for the group:

1) I see that the new TL has XM radio included...Does this mean that the monthly charge doesnt apply?

2) Does anyone think that the TSX will likely have XM next year?

1) After the 90 day free trial you have to pay the montly charge.

2) I'm not sure, it would make sense if it did.

 

Honda owns a percentage of XM. They'll probably equip all there vehicles with sat. support within the next year or two.

 

Thanks, glad to know that if they do include it next year in the TSX it wont come with a lifetime subscription to XM.

I ordered my TSX last week and started trying to imagine what could be included in '05. XM would be the only one that would dissapoint me and maybe if they went with Bose. I dont think memory seats are a big deal to me. Maybe I am leaving something out but the car is pretty loaded as-is.

 

This is going to come down to what type of contract they have with the radio manufacturer. I'm sure they would like to put it in all the cars ASAP. I was a little shocked the 2004 MDX didn't come with XM.

I wish I would have bought more XMSR shares 6 month ago. They are adding lots of new customers this holiday season.

You can get xm radio as an accesory for the TSX. Was at the dealer for an oil change and saw the accesories list

 

I guess I kind of felt that I didnt really want it...unless it was free

 

Not exactly free on the TL - just part of the cost.
