Subscribe / Listen? Crap - I never got through the stupid registration process that the friggen radio was putting me through to get the radio to work! That's right - when I first turned on the radio, it wanted me to put in activation codes, etc for SIRIUS before the radio would allow itself to be used! So I had a $32k beautiful Mustang with an inoperative radio because it was hung up in some sort of bulls#!t SIRIUS initialization routine! Even the dealer could not make it work and could not spend the hours on the phone with the SIRIUS @holes to make it work.. I think the problem was that the initialization code (or whatever you call it) was NFG to begin with.. I had tried it at first when we went for a drive shortly after we bought the car. Then the car went into storage for the winter and the next time we tried was like June of last year.
This was also one of the things that also soured me on the NAV packages because this car also had Nav and it was integrated with the radio.
SIRIUS Seriously ruined the whole experience for me. I no longer had the patience to deal with the inept people at SIRIUS and my dealer was not able to get any help at the time either. I gave up. The car is now gone. I will be forever pissed at SIRIUS and like most of you would do - I will take every opportunity to voice my displeasure..

Okay RANT over.. I won't do it again.. Sorry guys..

Here's a parting view of Mr. Ed out in the driveway last fall..

I, like others hate the emissions junk, the suspension is ok until you load it, the surface rust(which was on there when it was still on the lot) on the axles, driveshafts etc., the fake bling/chrome all over the interior, the weak rear a/c, and most off all.... The paper thin sheet metal!!!!! Argh! I dented the side of my bed while reaching in to pull the fifth wheel pin, the floor of my bed looks like baseball sized hail hit it, just from hauling stuff... Are you freakin kidding me? My old 88 ranger has a stronger pickup box... That is why I use the ranger when I have to make a run to the dump

They are scam artists for sure. You just have to remember to call and cancel right before the automatic renewal. They give you a good price, they just make you fight for it. I use it as a therapy session to just unload on somebody that has no recourse against me!

I thought of more stuff I hate.. The TPS.. Why does it not tell you WHICH tire is low? Express down for driver window, but not for the others, no express up..and no DEF gauge.. The freightliners where I work have them..and why does it not tell you when a regen is finished?

X2 what mebe2k said. Except I don't even have TPMS on the dually, and why not? Aftermarket units can monitor 22 tires.

I got a 3 month free trial of ****ius with my Fusion. It was worse than Dish for having a whole bunch of useless channels. I listened to it for all of 10 minutes. Since it expired I've been getting mail and phone calls harassing me to subscribe. Nothing pisses me off more at work than getting a bogus call from these guys.

Whether I'm in my Fusion or my truck, I just play music off of USB drives or my phone.
