IMHO the only real advantage assuming you have cell data coverage, is you don’t have to play with the phone to change music or channels.

For me then not worth it. I always travel with my phone and as soon as I put the key in the ignition the car starts playing wherever I left off on my large Spotify commute playlist. I don't have to touch the phone or even turn on the ignition. Pretty cool.

Sure. Just download the App and select Watch Live and listen via Bluetooth. Done!

what hoops? If you call opening an App and connecting the iPhone via Bluetooth jumping hoops, I’ll take that over pissing my money to Sirius just to listen to a couple of channels.

That's even worse than I thought. Not to mention insane watching while driving.

Nothing but opinion and channel preference is always a losing argument. Many people prefer many channels.

I get reminders that it's about to renew, but even if I miss it, you can call and they will refund you the portion you didn't use when you renegotiate a better deal. It's a pain, but the cheapest way is to cancel and let the offers start coming in.

I have more channels on my iPhone than Sirius could ever dream of. Does Sirius have Podcasts? Does Sirius has radios from all over the world? Not opinion, just facts.

So use an app (and data) meant to watch and not watch. Got it. Sounds more like someone would like Sirius but instead rationalizes not having it.

FYI, I don't pay for data because I have an unlimited grandfather plan with ATT. The questions was about CNBC and I showed how is done. If you are so lazy to hit two strokes in your phone keep your Sirius. Not me!
