Free XM Again

[LeftieBiker]

It's free again thru Dec 3rd, it seems: https://slickdeals.net/f/13586302-psa-s ... -sirius-xm.

My Leaf w/no subscription suddenly has access.

Thanks I'll pass it on to my family members. I personally can't stand to listen to XM, at least in my Leaf. It's so shrill and lacking in bass it hurts my ears Don't get me wrong, I like the selection, particularly the 60s, 70s and 80s channels along with the album rock channel but I just can't get past the shrillness for music I really like. For something not too demanding like background Christmas music it's ok.

Have you tried adjusting the sound in the audio menu? That is especially effective with Leafs equipped with the Bose sound system. The default is set to produce little base and lots of treble.

Yes on both my '13S without Bose and also '12SL again without Bose I've tried lowering the treble and slightly increasing the bass. It's not that I want thumping bass and both vehicles sound good listening to FM or a CD. Now that XM is available again I should listen to it in my mother's '13 SL w/Bose to hear how it sounds. I do know hers sounds better with FM and CD than either of mine but I've never heard it on XM.

Such a funny little Easter egg on this car. Thank you for sharing the notification.

I've found if you save a favorite artist on XM, you'll always know when they are running a free listen.

I'm guessing that's a feature on newer Nissan head units. I don't recall such a thing on my '13 SV w/premium.
