    It doesn't happen consistently, but it seems like my XM radio loses the sound settings every so often and I have to reset the bass, treble and midrange values. It only happens for XM radio. It doesn't happen for AM, FM Pandora, Bluetooth or other sound apps on my JBL system.

    Anyone else experienced this?

    Mine actually did that one time. It was a week or two after I got my truck. It hasn't happen again but will check next time I'm in my truck . I know in my second gen whenever the xm radio refreshed it reset. I wonder if that's a normal thing to happen.

    I maybe wrong but I believe I read somewhere in the entune manual that each preset station can have its own sound settings. What I'd like to know is why they didn't program the radio to allow you to delete stations!

    Naw I love XM but what is total crap is how much they want to charge you for the privilege which is why when the freebie time period ends I'll go without. I'm amazed that XM hasn't gone to a free format with commercials to pay for their service.

    Yeah, it's way too expensive and the "same old" songs over and over... after the 3 month period, I was sick of those songs.... and I did want to listen to Howard Stern... hehehe..

    They will call you write you and offer different plans....Don't go for it right away... they will finally offer you a 6 month plan that's not really bad...if you like it.

    Yes and I wonder if you still have to give them a credit card number and not just bill you? No way I'm giving these pirates my credit card info so I'm constantly being billed with no way out other then cancelling my card.

    I only pay around 35 bucks for all channels for six months What I do is when my time is up I just call an cancel. When they ask why I tell them it's to expensive. They usually go down to 75-80 bucks for all channels. I still say no thanks. And eventually after a few weeks I get emails and the price gets cheaper. Trust me it works lol.
