Well that's great but wait until the day you try to cancel the subscription. Every time I got some on on the phone Oh I can't do that then they would hang up on you. After the 5th time I quickly said wait bring you manager on the line. Click hung up on me again. Finally after about six more calls someone put their manager on the line. He said oh we can do that. I explained to him my Credit card number had changed and I wasn't giving them the new number. If he couldn't work with me I'd turn in a complaint to my Bank Card company. Long pause someone else came on the line my subscription was cancelled.
I hear this all the time, but in the 20 or so times I have canceled, I have never had to make more than one phone call, and takes no more than 5 minutes.
And yes, I have cancelled over 20 times.
I have a lifetime subscription on one radio, but added another vehicle. After the 6 month to 1 year subscription is up, and before the price increase, I call and cancel it. Sometimes I get a good deal and renew right then and there, other times, I cancel it because I don't get a good deal, and within a month, I get a deal I like.
As of now, I only have the lifetime in my wife's Santa Fe. I canceled my truck and daughters car. She uses Spotify, and I don't drive my truck enough to justify it and just use the local radio or CD's.
I agree it is nice if you travel a lot, no need to try to find a local station when in a new area and not have to worry about cell signal.
If not for the lifetime subscription though, I probably would not have it anymore, streaming just has too many options now days and most vehicles have at least bluetooth connection, if not Android Auto or Apple Play.
