You mentioned you had a second phone for your truck... Obviously you're trying to promote a service and now wondering how you're connected to it. Are you connected to that service...owner, stockholder??? We asked for a price you pay for this subscription. You claim its way cheaper and better yet you have yet to prove it.
So I went to the site to look at what you get...first off, to get the "premium package" it's $9.99 for a single phone....That cost more than the XM. Slacker doesn't not offer the sports...it has sports talk radio...not the play by play sports packages. XM I can listen to any live game, any team...play by play. (I subscribe to NFL, NHL and Baseball, I can select the team I want to listen to) Slacker doesn't have a live radar/weather/traffic alert. Music wise it goes by category, station or artist...something XM does. I can't listen to full albums but I think there is a channel that does do that, just haven't found it yet...regardless I wouldn't be able to pick the artist for full albums...The XM cost me $17 for two and I have all what you have an more it does appear. Folks, this myth is busted. LOL

I agree. He thinks its a one size fits all. I feel there are many choices, what works for me, may not work for some one else. For me, XM is the best option. I travel lots, both for pleasure, about 24K miles a year on my bikes. I do about 20K miles a year for work. Sop traffic is important to me, as is knowing where all the construction is. XM gives me that, weather is real nice on the bike, could care less in the truck. Weather has helped me ride around a rain storm more than once. I also like talk radio in the truck.
My daughter is just the opposite. She rarely goes more than 50 miles from her home. A music subscription works best for her.
I too had problems with the signal cutting out specifically on my quick 2 hour tour that I like to take. I decided to relocate the SirusXm antenna to my dash like many have suggested and I had success! .. Absolutely no loss of signal the entire way even where the trees were leaning over the road creating a canopy cover ... Prior to moving the antenna I had continuous drop outs. Thanks for those who have suggested the solution ... cheers...
In the Harley WHIM installation instructions it shows a Sirius XM antenna relocation bracket (part #76000808) that relocates the XM antenna to the top of the left side speaker enclosure (as seen from the front) right at the windshield. On Boardtracker it's $9.57. That is where the antenna was located on my 2011 Limited and reception was fine. l had the Roadtech 665 with the NIM.

had a dealer appointment today and mentioned my bad reception. They showed me a recent service bulletin suggesting moving as some have suggested here. After some discussion and looking at things, we agreed to try it here. Will see how this goes... Not sure if having it here is going to bug me too much or not. Funny thing is the GPS doesn't cut out like the SXM does, and it was located in roughly the same area inside the fairing.
