I have come to like the OEM units. Yes, they lack the features of the PNPs but I never use them anyway. My current OEM has a 35 character display each for title and artist.
So I called to cancel today...

I moved the H2A and the Starmate, but never the Visor.
What's the best way to get the antenna onto the roof of my Ford Ranger from inside the truck? I had run it out the driver's side door but I'm open to changing that. I suspect I may have crimped the antenna wire (which is rather stiff).

This is why I love my XM Skydock, no wires visible whatsoever, but then I always installed my PNP like that too. Takes some time and effort, but it is doable.
Paint yourself lucky, but most OEM's have a 16 character limit and some older ones had a 8 character limit. I hope these limits are a thing of the past as is should be.
Yeah...the prior OEM radio I had in the (2004 Audi) had the 16 character limitation.
The one I have now (2007 Mercedes) does not have that issue.
My wife's 2005 Acura XM radio has the 16 character limitation. It's annoying.
A few years ago, I think there was an attempt to keep the PAD data short and sweet. I don't think they care anymore...it's probably assumed that most people don't have that issue anymore.

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
My 2008 car has 16 char limit. I think they just fired the person or persons that did care as a cost saving measure.
That is a big assumption, I bet you there are still OEM's being installed to this day that have that 16 character limit even on new vehicles.
Personally, I wouldn't mind a 100% in-car radio, but then I keep remembering i'd be paying the same price for one radio in the car, as i'd be paying for a radio I can put in a boombox OR in the car.
To me, the plug-and-play option is a great one.

It was too good to be true. The Stratus 5 (refurbished) arrived today with a broken cigarette lighter adapter. I called Sirius, talked to two different Pakistani women who both transferred me to someone else after asking if I was sure I didn't want to activate my radio, and then got some American guy who put me on hold forever, and then I hung up.
Fortunately, the new (to me) antenna that came with the Stratus seems to have fixed the problem with my old Xact Visor, so I have service again.
I'll call Sirius tomorrow and get them to ship me a new adapter.
Morons.

Had better luck today. In a financial transaction just slightly less complicated than the tax code, they are sending me a new cigarette lighter adapter for $9.99 with free shipping and crediting 12 bucks and some change to my account (I never said it made sense.)
Xact Visor and new antenna still working...looks like I have a backup for the future.

Yesterday I asked to get a deal on my mom's talk and news plan. 15 bucks. I said that 2 more bucks hurts. They gave me 8 dollar deal for it.
We were done and I said my friend and I have been with the service for 20 years. They came back with both for 12 bucks a month. I said for how long?
The rest of our lives.

I got the "everything on the app plus whatever one radio gets" plan for $4/mo since December 2023 and it's good until December 2026 when I plan to renew.
They've also sent me free headphones (with more supposed to come) and three Bluetooth speakers when I was only due one.
There was some other deal they could have offered me, but it would have canceled the
headphones coming in a few months.
$12/mo probably isn't a bad deal, especially given the fact you won't need to renew ever again.
Yah I should have asked 10 years ago.
I use the app if my lil old radio dosen't record over night.
