Don't let these crooks get their hooks into you. Especially, DO NOT give them your credit card number. I was using invoice billing and paying by check, and they still tried to get more money from me by not removing my 2013 Leaf from their billing system after I called to let them know I'd turned it in. (I know this because knowing them, I called again this evening to make sure it was removed - it wasn't.) I'm going to use the free 3 month trial, block emails from them, and then in August I'll switch to Android Auto.
 
Om my 2014 B the shutdown never occurred. I had XM until it was totaled. on my current B I had to pay. I just think it is luck of the draw.

I have head of Leaf's that have extended XM. I guess it just depends on how lucky you are.

I still hate the people behind Sirius-XM (and the DJ Richard Blade!), but the channels have improved. The Leaf's new tuning knob and the grouping of stations within what the company considers a genre work well together. The little station icons are too hard to read, though.

Nice! I hate the way XM sounds in the LEAF. But it sounds fine in the Volt, and that's what we'll be driving over Thanksgiving. :D

Do mean shrill? To me XM sounds so shrill(no bass) I hardly care to listen to it :(
So are you saying the poor sound isn't inherent to XM, I mean if it sounds better in your Volt it sounds like it may just be Nissan's implementation of it?
 
With the Bose system adjusted for a little extra bass SXM sounds fine. Not "audiophile quality," but "car stereo quality." I can see where the non-Bose-equipped cars would sound tinny.
 
I'm going to change my mind a bit and say it sounds "OK" in the Volt, as opposed to "fine" - I was tuning my wife's favorite news channel for her last night in the Volt, and spoken word audio did sound a bit hollow. But it comes with way more bass/base by default than with the LEAF, which is probably why I don't notice so much when playing music.

Sorry about that, I updated my OP, I even got Leftie spelling it wrong :oops: I meant to say "bass" not base(pronounced the same but 2 totally different words).
I'll have to pay more attention to my mothers SL w/Bose next time I drive it and they have the free XM period. Truthfully anytime I've driven it, we have a car full of people and the radio has been off. She really only listens to Christian music or NPR, total waste of the Bose IMO, I'd probably enjoy it though :)
 
I've also corrected my misspelling. I knew that one, too...anyway, it also helps to adjust the front/rear fade, to put more of the output on the larger rear speaker.
 
I noticed that today, listened for 10 mins, and found as usual that the signal dropped frequently. I would never pay for this service...
 
Just today noticed that I didn't traffic this time round, only a brief message about my traffic subscription having expired when I switched to the maps, so they must have fixed that bug between last year and this.
 
Looks like it's free again until June 4th: https://www.siriusxm.com/listensxm.

I'd seen promo URLs last night for GM and Toyota that were different and then just learned of the above generic one...
 
It's free again thru Dec 3rd, it seems: https://slickdeals.net/f/13586302-psa-siriusxm-free-nov-22-dec-3-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.
