It might. However the cars we are steaming in don't have updated blue tooth features, no controls on the steering wheel, so you'd still have to press something on the phone, to change the station or ask Siri to do something.

Holy cow, that’s ridiculous. Unless I was a long haul truck driver, I’d never sign up for that. To each his own, I guess. My exhaust sound is music to my ears.

Pure BS. Call to tell them you'll cancel.

There is rub. Trying to get through to cancel is impossible from what I have read and what people I know have said.

That is one reason I never signed up with my new MB.

The other reason is the programming is terrible. I do not want to pay money to listen to some DJ. I want pure music. Thank you Spotify. Thank you Pandora. Thank you digital storage.

Ask for customer retention, don't waste your breath on the person who answers. When you get customer retention on the line, just ask that they give you the $60/year rate ($72 with all the stupid add-on fees). If they don't give you that rate, cancel and in 10 days sign up for the service again and get the "introductory" rate of $5/month or (with taxes and fees) $72.

This is why America and capitalism is going down hill; you folks are catching on. Just turn if off and listen to the sweet sound of a exhaust.

I love the peace and quiet of nothing for a couple of hours and then, sometimes, on a four hour long drive, alone, I want music.
