sorry for your loss timmer* Archived Message Posted by memyselfandillini on May 4, 2025, 12:16:33, in reply to "How fitting that, “Radio Free Europe” was playing when it happened…" Previous Message Backstory: (ruse alert) So upon arriving in Germany in late 2019, we bought a US spec BMW X1. It came with three free months of SiriusXM but being in Europe, it didn’t work and that was fine. We just listened to AFN, German radio and tunes on my thumb drive. Flash forward to July 2023 when the car was shipped back to the US when my time was up in Europe. Upon retrieving the car, the Sirius XM fired up and so I figured the three months free now kick in. Three months later it’s still working and since then it was free Sirius XM. Until just now. Driving around listening to First Wave and the REM song, the radio suddenly updates. No more free lunch. I am much more devastated that I no longer get it free (for life, I presumed) rather than paying the $6/mo I now have to pay if I want it back. It’s still $6/mo now these days we can negotiate it down to, right? I remember getting that back in the 2010s. What’s the best monthly price you all getting these days?
