    Ooooooooooo that IS slim! I was going to say I would rather pull the head unit and see if there is a second hidden USB input on the back or even a way to hardwire and split the single input so you have a second one hiding under the dash or in the glove box... But hey, that sounds too much like work. Maybe I'll pick up that stick

    Immediately prior to the Tacoma, I had over a decade of a drop top sports car, and became accustomed to enjoying the sounds of the wind and a melodic exhaust note running thru the gears...........

    In the truck if I can't get a radio station I like, I have a few CDs I can play.

    But mostly I just listen to myself. I like my answers. Mostly. o_O :D

    Where I am, I have no cell coverage, and only one really lame radio station, so I have the Sirius in my truck. Got used to it driving cross country in a semi, and wouldn't really want to be without it now.
    I have a single head unit I move from my house to the truck and the gym, since I have 3 base units, so I only pay for the one subscription. I HATE commercials, and political ads, so this is perfect for me.
    I like Classical, electronic music, and oddball things, like 40s music, so it's a good fit for me.

    I had a different new truck last year. When the 3 month subscription ran out I did miss it. It was nice to just have it available all the time. When it runs out of this truck I will likely do the $30 for 5 months. Then when I call to cancel negotiate hard for a low price. I did that a few years ago with my wife's SUV.

    Does android have anything like Apple Music that has an interface like Siri Eyes Free? I have an iphone for work but I usually use my android phone.

    I hear people like Sirius for listening to Jason Ellis. I just cant stand to listen to some dude talk all day on the radio. I already have to go home and listen to the woman talk all night in my ear anyway. I wouldn't pay a nickel to walk across the street and watch Jason Ellis eat a bale of hay.

    I've subscribed to Sirius for both the truck and the home for at least 10 years. Listen to a lot of various music, news, and finance. Less so sports. None of the commentary, Sternhorsecr@p, or comedy.
    Works for me, don't have unlimited data.

    Board full of truck drivers, 95% or so males, and nobody said they keep SiriusXM for the NFL network, MLB network and ESPN radio ?

    I'm on the fence, have another month to decide.

    Never thought of MLB on Sirius. Subscribe to MLB.TV though. Major team fan.

    Probably not. Although I'm aware of a few spots where you can get coverage, south end of White Rock near the water being one. Cell tower antennas are finely tuned and they try to avoid too much overlap across the border for roaming purposes.

    Wind Mobile has unlimited data plans, but probably no coverage in your area.

    I have XM radio. Got it for a trip up and down the coast, but I don't think I'll re-subscribe again. Ya, I listen to it every now and then, but not enough to warrant the cost.

    Sorry, but no interest in it at all. Also think baseball is a snooze, basketball is boring, NASCAR=go fast, turn left.etc...etc...

    I gotta ask, would that include the 1977 hit "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees? :bananadance:
