3 months and you can extend it for another 3 months for $2, according to the nice lady who called me a couple days ago. She also said it renews for $23 per month thereafter

Or if you have another vehicle with it and you have the app you can use CarPlay Works great3 months and you can extend it for another 3 months for $2, according to the nice lady who called me a couple days ago. She also said it renews for $23 per month thereafter
I think I'll sign up for their family plan or what it's called, my wife had it on her VW for years, my 18 year old Taco had a tape deck, LOL.
I think there's a multiple vehicle plan that also then gives you the app to play at home, not that I really need more options for music.
But out exploring or just driving up the coast there are quite some dead spots w/o cell reception, so either what ever local radio you can find or Sat. In my Taco a stack of CDs would carry me just fine, no more an option.
I think you can put music on a usb stick and plug that into the Bronco, have not tried that, but will probably use one of the many old memory sticks floating around the house for that, can't hurt to have a couple albums with

You can negotiate down to almost 100 per year.3 months and you can extend it for another 3 months for $2, according to the nice lady who called me a couple days ago. She also said it renews for $23 per month thereafter
Just received this offer in the mail. Thanks for the input on the $23/month info. That wasn't made clear on any of the many documents in the envelope.3 months and you can extend it for another 3 months for $2, according to the nice lady who called me a couple days ago.

So, this begs a broader question: What features in the Bronco infotainment system require ongoing subscriptions?
Obviously, SiriusXM does. What service(s) give you navigation? Wifi hotspot? Any other pay-to-play features?
I just need to determine what I want to keep based on its value to me and the cost.
Thanks!

I think built-in NAV is free for 3 years and then (unknown) subscription cost.
Call before the trial runs out and say you enjoy the service but just can’t afford the full price. They’ll offer you deals but just keep declining until they get to $4.99 per month for one year. Accept this deal as they won’t go any lower and just remember to repeat the process before they charge you full price again in one year.
Yeah, frankly, I like using Android Auto to navigate with Google Maps better than the built in nav system. Our house is on a relatively new private lane, and Google Maps shows it, but the built-in nav does not. Built-in nav shows our house up on the road we're connected to, not where it actually is. Makes me wonder how up to date the built-in nav maps are.

Ok, stupid question.... how do you start the Sirius trial subscription? I've just started poking around settings and haven't come across it yet.
in other carS that have had it for me, usually it's on by default.
If it's not, just call up sirius and give them the id of the radio in the car and it'll activate within about 5 minutes or so. then spend the next three months going "why is spotify so much better than this?"
And then good luck getting off any list of Sirius'. I signed up for it back in 2004. disconnected for good about 5 years ago. and I am still getting mailers and such. persistent mofos....

If you can get your dealer to not officially activate it you will have it for free forever.
Ha, thanks! It is defaulting to the preview channel right now and I suspect it's because the trial started when it was driven to Dirt Mountain in July, lol. I don't plan on keeping Sirius (we let the sub expire in our other vehicle), but might as well get the free trial while it's free.
