I had sirius xm with a new car, I subbed for a year or two additional then cancelled as a cost savings when I got the axe at work. I still every few months or so maybe get my radio switched back to xm for an ad for another xm subscription.
As I've been resigned to the decline of civilization I just sort of noted that I had a few seconds worth of work added to my life in turning it off to the profit of someone else so it really isn't that bad I guess, especially as it only happens when starting the car which is the best case if it has to be that way.
This particular ad, at every stoplight well thats quite a bit worse in my opinion. I feel lucky now that its just sirius xm ads for me.
Did the spark trick work? 110v does wonders for rendering ... oh, just unplug it.
I had a friend who did not like his seat belt warning beeper. It took over 4 hours to get the dashboard entirely apart, drill a hole in the beeper, and then put the thing back together. 9 months later, the engine ceased... Hmmmm... XM Radio used to give away devices for free... no free lunch.
