Save a buck: Sirius XM Hack

A little money saving hack I discover. How to save a buck with just the streaming service of Sirius XM in your car.

Pandora and Spotify are free to stream with paid options for more customization. I've been streaming Spotify through my car for years now.. SXM is behind the curve and I don't think they'll be around for much longer.

Great tip but I travel rural areas with no cell service having the satellite for no disruptions works great for me

You are streaming on phone data versus satellite radio. Might as-well use a streaming service where you can have automated customized playlists that match your music taste more closely. On the plus you can stream 90%+ recorded tracks. Only 9.99/m

I’ve noticed if u cancel your service an u don’t use your car for 3 months u just park it then it won’t get the update signal that turns off your service 5 months later my radio is still working after I cancel it 8 months ago

I've got something astonishing to share. I purchased a 2011 Jeep Cherokee about a year ago. To cut a long story short, two days ago, while washing my vehicle, I decided I didn't like the radio antenna mounted on the top back section. I knew that unscrewing the antenna would mean I couldn't play local radio stations, but I went ahead and did it anyway. Now, for satellite radio, you typically have to call and provide an ID number, but there's also a preview channel. Out of curiosity, I wondered if my action would affect the satellite channel PREVIEW CHANNEL .. and it did! Now, I have access to 211 free satellite radio channels. IF IT WORKED ON MINE IT SHOULD WORK ON ANY 2011 GRAN JEEP CHEROKEE

Yes mine is not hacked but I don't know how to get the sound from my speakers to work

I can tell yopu a real hack(at least in a 2019 dodge grand caravan). if your car hasnt had sirius in a while you can get a free trial with no commitment just by providing the sirius id in the website.
nothing groundbreaking there. i had done this last summer and had added a couple of bands as favorites. after my trial had ended and the car was back in preview mode i was still getting the popup saying the artist had a song playing and by selecting listen it went straight to the channel and bypassed the subscription validation. Now after that all the channels are available. There is no way of adding a favorite(you can for sports) when you are in trial mode but it is possible to enable.disable the prompts. (i will post here how to get a refresh signal if mine stops working again)

if you use cellphone/internet why radio? listen what you want from youtube or mp3's

[thatscindylouu]

That's how I'm doing it. My car doesn't have Sirius XM and I can't tune to channel 0 to find Radio ID .My husband has a Siuis xm subscription so just bluetooth stream off of his account

[Raisinsaredumb]

Imagine that one of these Apple Watches paired to your phone what you can Bluetooth

[debraeller]

I don't have any sound from my radio but I have the other things that come on it but I don't have any sound

You did not find a hack or savings, you are just streaming a music source from your Phone. I can only imaging what your Data Plan / Bill looks like now. You probably spent more on Data on your Phone then it would have been to just legit buy the XM Service.

If I have SXM ONY CAR DO I STILL HAVE TO PAY AND GET IT INSTALLED??

[sav]

Right! Hahaha tho I just found all this out now but still alright tho because of Bluetooth haha

[tonyjesso]

Won't you needwifi to play it. Then send it through Bluetooth..cheaper to buy..

[caseyoutdoors]

I Blu tooth I heart it's a free app

We canceled this because they support liberal sports which my family try to avoid. The very reason we canceled our cable . We have music apps to use on our cars woke...go broke liberals!
