Anyone opt for the XM WX
In checking XM's web, I see that their satellite weather is offered only in the Panamera. Has anyone used this? Also, wonder why it is available only in the Pana. Would like to use it in my truck.

I wonder if I am getting that with the trial 3mos!?!? I was messing about and made it into INFO/SAT DATA SERVICE and stumble on the forcast/stock quotes. Found the forcast to my city, but not the Weather Radar. Something to check out tomorrow. Thanks for the mention!

Weather is only available in larger cities so be sure your location, or one you visit often, is included. The Data service also includes real time stock quotes and sports scores and that is pretty cool.

I think it is 5 minute updated weather that they are sending to you.

XM weather is a part of the 3-month free trial sample - it's bundled with the traffic reports.
I live 60 miles east of LA, in a completely different weather pattern from downtown LA. The only weather report I can get for all of Southern California is LA or San Diego. No use whatever. It would be wonderful if the National Weather Service local feeds were available, but I'm don't think this covers anything that isn't available through XM's radio channels. For me, the weather feature is worthless. BUT it's bundled with the traffic updates, which I find to be VERY valuable. So I'll be paying for the weather, but probably never using it.
