It may be, everything is negotiable with XM radio. But honestly, I thought while nice, it was too spotty of service to actually pay for after it ran out. I got the $77 deal for xmradio and couldn't be happier.

As Petec said, it all seems negotiable. I was given a rate of $84/year for Traffic/Weather.

So... a little Off Topic, but I got in my car today, and my traffic and weather were turned ON? It's been about 4 months since it's been off, and I haven't called for them to turn it on... very, very odd.

$77- $84/yr for just weather & traffic or XM, too. The sales rep said there are different bundles for service, you can get weather/traffic w/o XM.
Hmmm.....not sure what your prices are for?

my $77 was just for XMradio, no weather or traffic (although it turned on for me today, so )

Petec, I think they mistakenly gave you the Weather/Traffic I just re-upped for. They said it was on, but as of last night not working in my car.
Crazy. I wonder if they have any clue what they're doing or if it is not just random switching on/off.
The price they offered was 77 for music plus 84 for weather/traffic. If you call, the rack rate is 96/year for traffic/weather.

That seems pretty high, especially if traffic& weather is spotty. Guess I'll see how it is during 90 trial.

My traffic/weather service hasn't been spotty, but I think it depends on where you live. Outside a major metro, I doubt they're of much use. I rely on the traffic every day during my commute, and it has helped me avoid a major jam on a couple of occasions. The weather is less important, but I got caught on a trip a few years ago driving right into a tornado warning area in TN, and at the time my wife and I both said, someone needs to offer a service in the car so you can tell if you're driving into heavy weather. The XM weather does just that.
I'll give it a go for a year and see how I like it, how much I use it (and what they're charging next year).

Not to sound stupid, but I haven't gotten an Acura message ever since the very first weeks when I took delivery of the car last year.
Are Acura messages sent on a "forever basis," or do you have to pay for XM to receive Acura messages?

For the acura messages I think your phone has to be set up for what do they call - acuralink? doesn't work w/ the iphone

The messages you get the first 30 or 60 days are built in messages to the system, they're not sent from anywhere. I thought the acuralink was so that you could schedule an oilchange from your car via the internet on your phone.
