They have to manage the blinking lights in the sky... They also continue to build new ones.

SXM has a great product, but as is the case with everything media, distribution models are changing. Running both streaming and satellites costs more that Apple, Amazon, Pandora, Spotify which are all providing services for less operational costs. It would be a shame to lost all the great talent, but SXM seems like they aren't growing users like the other services.
I will say that for the newer GM infotainment systems Siriusxm is so integrated into it that you can set a radio preset for any of their streaming stations. As long as you have a data source, there really isn't a need for the satellite signal other than in areas with no service. Their streaming only plans tend to be much cheaper than the satellite plans.

The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is the same size and similarly equipped as the Eqinox, but $10K less. It has SXM standard equipment. I'm taking one for a test drive tomorrow.

Excellent, is it built in Normal?

The Mitsubishi plant in Normal, IL (Diamond Star Motors) closed in 2015. It was purchased by Rivian in 2017, and currently builds their EDV, R1S, and R1T models. The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is assembled in three plants, in Brazil, China, and Japan.

Picking up the new vehicle this Saturday. It comes with a three month SXM trial. I called today to transfer the plan from my existing vehicle to the new one. After my trial period ends, they're going to give me the next 12 months at half price.

Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross. I spent a couple of hours this afternoon sitting in the car, in the driveway, trying to figure out how to operate everything. The owner's manual is useless.

I set up the presets for AM and FM, but I have no idea how to do it for SXM. There isn't a word about it in the manual.
