Omg STOP!! seriusXM alert

[Dp227]

Does anybody know how to stop this bullshit???

I did a privacy disconnect through the FCA Privacy office. It took some time and I also had to contact XM Gaurdian’s privacy office.

Took care of all of that junk though. While I am a Sirius Radio subscriber, I no longer get ads for Gaurdian Services. Fairly sure those are sent over the LTE signal, which is why the privacy disconnect works.

The negative is over the air updates no longer occur to the software if you care. And I can’t use the Jeep app on my phone (vehicle is now ineligible).

It involves killing anyone with access to put radio IDs into the Sirius system, that's frowned upon these days.

Sounds like a group buy!

Pretty soon..."A/C will activate after watching these advertisements (1 of 2) 1:30"

Please do NOT give them f@#king ideas!

I'm the opposite. I begrudgingly pay for the Connected Services because I'm a spoiled brat who likes to be able to start his car from his phone. But I refuse to pay for anything else.

You mean starting your car from your phone and then walking out to it and it has not started yet? Hated that delay...

Yeah I've conditioned myself to remember there's a ~5 minute delay.

Can anyone with a Tazer confirm or deny?
Per the Tazer mini site it lists:

• enable/disable TravelLink/XM traffic and weather

So maybe that includes this pop up? This would push me over the edge to buy one haha

Nope.
Tazer does not (as of today) remove the pop up.

I’m on a manual, so no remote start. Full cost for just remote unlock. As awesome as that is (with its 2 minute delay), it’s not worth $20/month to me.

Interesting. This "ad" must be something new because when the XM crap expired on my 2019 GC last year before I traded it in October, didn't get anything. But then, I could swear that I disabled all of the wireless crap in Uconnect. Wonder if that's why.

Will have to check on my Wrangler now ?

Mind you, I was a loyal subscriber to the old XM Radio. Still have an old mobile tuner that I used in my old cars and adapters to use in my offices. But dumped them when they merged with Sirius and they dropped the ONE station I enjoyed the most "XM 80 - The Move"

We should all request that as a feature from Tazer! I bet their software developers could figure it out if there's demand for it

I opened a monster here ?

Strange, but I’ve got the annoying emails and snail mail but never the screen pop. I hesitate to post this, as undoubtedly next time I start my Jeep it will be there…..

 

[JustDave]

I didn't take the free trial XM, so I don't get the annoying messages. My wife took the free trial on her Wagoneer & now XM comes up every time she turns it on even though she was listening to a different source for music. The trick is to never sign up for it.

And, be certain to provide your credit card number so you permanently remain in compliance

I've had to cancel CCs. They don't understand NO or cancel, they just keep billing you.

It’s a terrible company with a product that’s less appealing every day.

we have four vehicles, so our mailbox gets filled with Sirius dog squeeze several times per month, month after month, year after year. BUT, on the most recent purchase, a GC 4xe, I declined every trial and provided no contact information at time of purchase. So far, they have left us alone. Fingers crossed.
