According to the official "specs.doc" that is linked someplace around here, the Navigation Package will include XM, with or without a trial subscription. Does that mean that those choosing the Navigation package can't get Sirius as a separate option? Nissаn is going XM-only in a year or so anyway, like Hondа is already, so that wouldn't surprise me. I'm not a Howard Stern fan, so doing without Sirius is entirely bearable for me, but Howard fans may beg to differ ...

 

I can't speak for the US models, but here in Canada Sirius is not available at all.....just XM.

 

I'd much rather have sirius, but only because they seem to have more public radio offerings.

 

They're tiring to get you to subscribe to the XM traffic thing, too. There is a separate option for satellite radio. Maybe you need to add that in order to get your system swapped with Sirius.

 

That's because Sirius doesn't work on the metric system.

 

Sirius is available in Canada....just not on the new G.

 

I hope it was a joke and I missed it

Or are you referring to the metric system and traffic updates ?!?

Nah - it must've been a joke !

 

^^^ I was thinking that at first.....and if it was a joke I missed it as well.

 

I dunno how you guys missed, I cracked up... Probably, 'cause I think everything's a joke...

 

I think it means you will have the car "pre-wired" for SAT. If you choose a provider, you will then need to add probably another $500 for the receiver.

 

xm only w/ nav for the navtraffic updating

 

No Howard .

 

The free 3-month XM trial -- does that include the live traffic report feature? If so, what if after 3 months I only want the traffic subscription and not the music on... can I get have it separately?

 

yes you have to pay for XM radio which is pocket change 9.95 a month im sure no one will complain. very convenient if the city you live in has that feature-- not all cities are capable of it

 

Wait, so that $9.95 includes both music AND the live traffic? So for those cars that only have the radio option, they're paying the same price but lacking the live traffic report?
