I have Sirius radio for 1 channel & that's the Nascar chanel 128, the rest I don't care about.Not long ago I called to cancel the whole works so the "other department" gave me a one year for 1/2 price, so I'll see what happens after a year, Gigger

The GPS is driven by Navteq. I haven't seen the Ford in action yet (still waiting for my truck), but if it is like my Garmin/XM radio setup, the XM traffic & weather feeds into the GPS. You still need to buy map upgrades when they are available.

You do know that plural of "ya'll is all ya'll" - ha! Now, to get. . . Sirius (I know, I'll keep my day job), I just let my six month free subscription laps this morning right in the middle a Sugarland tune Ch. 60, The Highway. Spoke with a Sirius rep the other night to renew for one year at $129.50 (two months free) plus all the taxes and fees. At the end of his speech I learned my credit card would be charged next year at the "rate at that time". I'm not fond of the idea that my card will automatically be charged next year. I then asked for the quarterly rate which was higher at 38.85 billed with a paper statement. Ah, a paper statement is another $2 charge. Sooo, I let it go. More than likely I give 'em a call in a week or two so they can beg for me to come back - right! It's just a matter of time before I get them back.

I recently let me Sirius expire and really never listened to the music but did like the travel link. Called them the other day and got travel link for $2 a month for two years.
