Since the deal is dead, and many people got their subscription cancelled, try Slacker.com [slacker.com] instead.
- Slacker.com [slacker.com] has over 290 preset stations like Hard Rock, Classical, Dub Step, Comedy and more.
- Create your own stations like Pandora.com
- Stream for free on the website or through the Android phone/tablet, iPhone/iPad and Windows Phone apps.
- With Slacker Plus*, download (cache) up to 15 stations so you can listen to them offline, without an internet connection.
- With Slacker Plus*, remove the advertisements and get unlimited song skips
- Caching your stations work great while listening in the car, wont cut out while going under a bridge, or while getting gas that has an overhang (like satellite does)
- *Slacker Plus is only $3.99 a month (with a 7 day, no credit card needed, free trial).
- Slacker Plus is over $10 cheaper than Sirius, especially counting all the fees like music royalty fees, internet subscription fees, activation fees, taxes, etc. You can also just try the streaming for free before you get Plus.


For deals (or anything) like this, I use the incredibly useful disposable email service at http://10minutemail.com/ or http://www.mailinator.com. This prevents the swine at XM from spamming my real email address. F**K 'EM.

Deal is DEAD, and don't worry if you missed this deal BECAUSE they cancelled everyone's account anyway after just a week. We fell for a "fake mistake", there was no mistake, this was carefully planned, now xm has millions of emails to spam and market to and brag that it's app was downloaded more than pandora and songza combined.. Now it's your job to remove the app and give it 1 star in the market and in yr review mention other services such as songza and pandora, it's the least you can do.. --Or, someone mailed out the URL link for a prize they won in a contest. Everyone jumped onto something that was obviously intended for the winners of a Chevy Sweepstakes and then got mad that free stuff was taken away from them.

Free account that I don't use. Since you can't change the password it shouldn't matter to share, just don't use up all the 4 skips! haha.

Thanks Lp113, it seems like it got cancelled though.

It is for Sirius XM Online and via their Smartphone Apps. NOT FOR YOUR CAR or HARDWARE for SIRIUS/XM RADIO.

The news radio has commercials, not the commercial free program SIRIUS radio has promised.

This trial requires NO CREDIT CARD, no hassles! Just provide an email, and you can make up and first and last name and use any US Zip code. ( 90210 if your really unoriginal. ) Promo Code: CHEVY1YR

Note: Your email address will be your login name and the password they provide you cannot be changed.
The trial is for 1 YEAR, use the link provided, and sign up. It includes all the channels (Music, Talk, Howard Stern, Playboy and MLB. ), and even the On Demand Content. ( Does not include NFL, NBA, or NHL. )

iPhone and other mobile phone instructions: go to sirius.com, then look for link at bottom that say go to full site. once there, leave it on, open new browser, go to this thread, click on OP link and it should work.


Features & Tips

When you hit PAUSE on the app, it continues to use data while it records the stream so you don't miss the conversation on the talk show or miss the rest pf the song when your phone rings or when you simply pause the music.

There is no stop button so don't just hit HOME.

Make sure you Kill the app every time (else it may run in background and drain your battery and risk going over your dataplan.
.

HOW do you kill an app and does it get rid of the app???
Killing app removes it from your background running processes
New version of Android hit the multi-task key and delete the app from your recent process -- or if you have an older version you will need to use a Task Manager or stop the app by going to Settings -> Apps -> Running -> Select the App -> Stop
On iOs -- press the home button / double tap the home key / press and hold the app / delete

This only applies to actual CAR or SIRIUS/XM hardware:
WARNING! I just canceled after a year deal extending the Sirius satellite radio that came with my new car purchase a while back. Their customer service was horrible: one could not cancel online, the first level reps transfer you as soon as you try to cancel to another line where the hold times were ridiculous, and there the customer service reps were determined to argue/plead/offer you one or two free months to stay another year. Even when I firmly said no, the conversation went on forever. Cancelling took about an hour in toto--that's ridiculous.

CAVEAT EMPTOR! You may regret this in a year.


The striked statement above is completely unrelated to this deal. This deal is for a free year of internet radio. You do not have to put in a credit card or any information other than an email and fake name and fake zip, so you don't have to cancel or anything. Not sure why this was ever posted here.

It's nice to give out some personal reviews on Sirius Radio on vehicle because it's all about Sirius.

Enjoy your 30 days.

Rinse and repeat.
Just an FYI - despite stating it is a 30 day trial on the website, it seems to only work for 7 days. YMMV, but my experience has been 7 days for all free trials regardless whether the site states 7 days, 30 days, 6 months or 1 year.

It may have already been noted, but starting sometime in September most sports are no longer part of the Internet stream unless you have a physical radio account as well. This means little to no NASCAR, NFL or MLB for Internet only accounts even if you pay for the service. I can somewhat understand not offering the games, but even the NFL channel is blocked. This channel is dominantly NFL talk other than the Thursday, Sunday and Monday night games which you can easily get with Tune-In or other on-line services. This just lowers the value of an Internet only account as these type of non-music offerings are what really differentiates Sirius/XM from Spotify, Pandora, Tune-In, etc.

Carl: You're correct.

I chatted with customer service as well. here is the key statement from them

me: this promotion was very misleading it appears

(sirius customer service rep) Daniel: We caused the code to expire when we learned that it was distributed through unauthorized channels.


They offered 30 day to me as well. too good to be true.

I had an XM radio several years ago, and i really enjoyed it. I didn't mind paying $9 per month.
they offered for a 2nd radio for half so i hooked my wife up and we were happy customers for about a year. then they took the repeater down in my area. customer service repeatedly LIED saying it was being worked on, when in fact they removed them completely. I found out 4 months later from the news (people actually complained to the news about this) and when they checked, they said, they were taken down and not coming back. this hosed me for any indoor service (at work specifically) and then the merge/buy out came and then the price hikes came and the customer service got progressively worse. so i finally had enough and canceled. It took me a while to get used to regular radio again, but finally i did and was happy i was no longer paying for crappy service. Until i saw this deal i was done with Sirius/xm So i figured what the heck, 1 year free, why not.. well now i know why not..
I will no longer have anything to do with such a craptastic company.

Repeaters used? First Ive heard of that. I did google it and read FCC made them take some down, so its not their fault. I never had reception problems both in NE (NY) and Midwest (OH). Im listening to them now in my basement with ROady Home kit. Ive been a listener since XM started and always pleased.

Thanks for the repeater list. Now I know there are 3 in my area, not that it matters. Seattle area is probably the worst in the country. So many darned tall trees here and so many days with low, thick, cloud cover. It's tough to get good reception in some areas as I'm driving but then again I live in South King County.

I question how well the repeaters work. I drove all the way from Seattle to San Francisco and in areas where there are zero repeaters I had no problems with reception at all. I have a Roady 2 equipped for both home and car.

Perhaps those repeaters are for the Sirius Satellite only? I am using XM and there's only 2 XM satellites but 3 for Sirius so they are using different distribution channels, unless they consolidated it all.

I am surprised my free trial was cancelled. It says right there in the email that I get one free year and I only got 1 month if even that (I didn't really check until recently). It just doesn't seem right. I never trusted this company to begin with. I read all the horror stories beforehand about them strong arming people into higher contract prices in the past and getting away with it.

I do like the radio service because it's better than my local stations and it makes a long drive from Seattle to SF so much more enjoyable. It's also nice that you can negotiate a lower price each year. For those of you who like the service, there are people on Ebay who sell the Lifetime service along with the radio. You'll pay upwards of $300 easily, but for some it's totally worth it. You just have to pray that your radio never breaks.

I just got a car with SiriusXM and was expecting to put 11 months of free service I had from this "deal" instead of 3, but boy was I wrong on several counts laugh out loud I totally believe their story about an expired channel offer. The conspiracy theorists saying this was an intentional bait-and-switch promotion are nuts. When I got the email it said congratulations on winning something. Someone posted their little exploit, it went viral, and they decide not to honor it. They actually have to pay for their content, so it is not rude. They should stick to the script when explaining this to irrationally irate customers, but I don't blame lowly CSRs for getting punchy.

Unlike you, though, I do NOT think it is nice that you can (must) negotiate a lower price each 6 or 12 months. As a matter of fact it is offensive. Oh sure, negotiating 5-10% lower might be "nice" of them. But from what I see, you call them and get a fairly reasonable price of $24.99/6 months ($4.71/month) if and only if you get auto-renewal. Right before expiration, you must call again and get the offer repeated, ad infinitum. Otherwise, you get hit with with $160/12 months ($15/month)! Triple the price! That's almost the cost of satellite TV which actually has video and not just sound. And cable TV/satellite does not lure you in with such absurd promo to non-promo price ratios. There are a lot of price unconscious customers in the auto sector, and you can't blame them for trying to charge them a LITTLE BIT higher price. But get serious, Sirius. Until they stop this unbridled gouging and hoop-jumping, I'll never ever ever never ever never subscribe. The freebie misfire doesn't really upset me, but their charge-anything pricing model is a complete turn off.

I believe it does not matter if you own a XM or Sirius radio as it works off of all the same satellites/repeaters in areas. As for price negotations, yes it is just like buying a car..very nerve wracking. I guess if they just set the price at $160/12 months and not allow negotiations I definately would not be a customer. But since they do allow negotiations, I have been a long time customer. So I dont know how I feel overall..I will say they do have a great product and I am still willing to call them to lower price down each time my term ends.

The app itself is very easy to navigate through. It even has On-Demand which is nice. I have found no bugs and has not crashed as of yet.

This deal did not apply to people with XM enabled car radios, this deal was for Internet only. Not sure how you got the idea this would work on your car.

I can understand your mis-givings. I have the same feelings. I know how low down and dirty Sirius is, but being able to listen to near CD quality audio pretty much anywhere my car goes has been worth it. Not to mention there are zero alternatives, Sirius has monopoly on satellite radio. I'm thinking of getting one of those Lifetime subscription radios on ebay, it might be worth it. I wouldn't have to haggle each year to lower the price.

Over the past 2 years I will have paid roughly $90/year which included a free radio that I eBayed for $30 in my first year. Works out to about $7.50/mo which is worth it. I do not allow them to have access to my credit card. There is an option to pay by check, so that's what I do. I don't give them the ability to auto-renew by using a credit card.

There' a lot of companies that do business like this Sprint is one of the worst. You can call them up and negotiate all kinds of freebies and benefits if you find the right person. If you don't find one that will give you free minutes, just hang up and call again. My brother called a few people before he found one that gave him some ridiculous deal 1000 anytime minutes, unlimited data, unlimited weekends, etc for $40/mo or something like that.
