That sucks, I remember XM being mostly commercial/nonsense free. We subscribed to XM with our then new 2008 Honda Element, it was fantastic for long trips (constantly driving from Jax, FL to Baton Rouge, LA, about 560 miles). Besides the music, we also enjoyed news, talk and comedy. Once we moved to BR it was no longer a necessity and so we killed it. Now I just use my Shuffle until the radio goes out one day, then I'll replace it with USB flash drive capability.
