Does Sirus Just Suc?

Activated my Sirus radio in the X during their free trial. It sounds like crap. They had to update the radio software because it hadn't been activated in a few years but jeeesh. Any chance another software update of sorts would fix this issue? There is no way I would pay for Sirus. Sound is flat and tinny. Totally unacceptable even to my half deaf ears.

Do they still have the free trial period going on? When I bought my X3, it came with an expired sirius subscription. I didn't take a new subscription but if they have a freee trail, might as well try it.

They Do

The trial ends 6/4 which is plenty of time to decide it is horrible

I have had Sirius since I got my 05 X3 in Oct 04. Works fine and sounds great. No idea why yours sound bad. If the regular radio sounds OK, you may be SOL.

Cheers
