As of 8/27/2013.

Every so often, SiriusXM will turn on their service for a period of time as a free preview for all of the SiriusXM-capable radios in order to attract new subscribers.

I have seen them run these previews for about a week or so then they will turn the service back off for a while.

I have found no rhyme or reason as to when they might decide to turn the free preview on or for how long.

I just rotate around from time to time just to see if it is turned on.

And it came back on today.

This announcement will mean nothing for people that are already paying for a subscription or have a radio that is already turned on with a lifetime subscription.

The rest of us can have a chance to listen in and see if this is a service we might be interested in.

I propose if any of us notice the preview is turned on, we post that information in this thread so anyone that wants to check out SiriusXM and see what it is all about can do so.

So get it while the getting's good!
 
It usually lasts about a week at a time.  I don't have XM in my AV, but I have it in my Impala, and every 6 months or so, I get a free week out of it.  Of course, I still get all the letters in the mail with "special deals" and such, but I don't listen to the radio much anyway.  Either the morning show off the local station in the morning, or my android on the way home.
 
They usually do this around a holiday when people are known to be traveling. Put the hook out and see who bites.
 
I have the flyer right here...

Current freebie is from August 27th until Sept 9th.

I tried it yesterday and wasn't working for me but I will have to try it tonight when I am on my way to work.

They also bundled it with a $25 6 month offer.

This is great.

Both of our Cadillacs have SirusXM and we sometimes get letters from them wanting us to sign back up, but I have never seen anything mentioning a free preview.

But maybe I just missed it.

I usually just catch the preview when I surf the radio sources and stumble across it.

Kind of a hit and miss sort of thing.

If those that get the flyer can post up in this thread when the previews are running, that would be awesome.

Heck just call them they will give you a free preview. Just tell them you want to hear what it sounds like.
 
Oh yea, also the free preview flyer talks about this preview is only 60 channels of the over 140 normally available channels.
 
ON!

I bought my avy in oct last year and has xm..I wonder if previous owner bought lifetime or if it will just turn off after a yr...dunot know but I enjoy now..jeff
 
Yup mine is on also.

try again, maybe the previous owner paid for it and did not cancel it. What ever you do don't call On-star
 
I have called them but not to talk about the xm radio...just to get directions downloaded for destinations...my wife even told me not to ask when xm subscription ends, ha she was smart that day.  when it ends I will probably get it again thou, I do like it .jeff
 
Just saw a commercial that said free preview is underway and all radios are active until June 2nd. Just an fyi for those interested  (y)  won't be able to confirm mine until I'm out of work this afternoon.
 
Thanks for the heads up!

Tuned in and jamming.

(n) It was on again for the Memorial week until June 2nd, we were on vacation with our 2013 Av, nowdays we just use Pandora for free, but saw the freebie week XM commercial on our hotel tv, so we listened for awhile, same damn songs they were playing a few months back at the last free listen week, and that's why we don't pay for the service, as the same songs from the 50s, 60s, 70s, + on are re played everyday!
 
ON!

I posted in the Bar & Grill but next time I hear it on XM I'll post here.

It makes sense the free previews span holidays when more people travel
 
It's back on till December 2
