XM weather

[GMC-AT]

I noticed when looking at the extended 5 day forecast... it's about 2 days behind. It says today, tomorrow, Sunday, Monday, etc.. Well today the problem is today is Sunday. I sent a XM refresh and it didn't help. Anyone notices this... I guess this is an XM issue..

I have had the issue but it usually resolves itself. What I don't like is the forecast stays on the screen shrinking the radar size. Is there any way to get that off and see more radar?

How do I get XM Weather on my truck?

Must have a radio with GM navigation

Must have an active XM service

And then you can contact XM and have Travelink turned on. It includes XM Weather. Go to the site below and enter your vehicle information to see availability of optional services.

Anybody get a good deal on renewing weather and traffic?

I didn't keep the XM Radio as I thought it was crap for the money it costs. The coolness of it went away quick the first time years ago and very fast this time. I then found out that I lost weather and traffic, so I call to get it back. $15 to connect it again. I talked them out of it because I didn't know, so she is like okay it will be $5.** a month. WTF?

 

If the 2015 does it through the ATT data and is more reasonable in price or you get more for the money. I'll be pissed.

XM is becoming the AOL of radio. They were great back in 2000ish when they first came out and were solid until they merged with Sirius. Ever since then the quality of the music has gone downhill tremendously. Now they fired Anthony Cumia from the Opie and Anthony show which was the only reason I remained a customer this long. As a musician myself who is serious about the music he listens to, I find Pandora to be leaps and bounds better than what Sirius is offering now. I use Podcasts and AM radio to fill the void of talk radio I used to get on XM. Overall though i'm saving money every month and getting better music variety and still no commercials or censorship. I was a 10 year customer and just canceled a month ago. I think it's only a matter of time before they go belly up.

haven't found a way to shrink forecast to make radar bigger.... I know what you mean.. it would be nice to have full radar on the screen.

I'm going to agree with those saying it's way too much for what you get. Most of the music is dated and the traffic and weather are a joke. On the radar you can't zoom in far enough to get an accurate reading for your location. The traffic is so off it's not even funny. You'd think it would pull from the same place Google and others gets the traffic from but it never seems accurate. I've had it show me green and clear rolling only to be stuck in traffic several times. Mine only shows the traffic on highways and not even major arteries. I'm in a big metro area so the info should be easy to get, it's just doesn't deliver.

Google Maps is the best tool for real time traffic reporting in my opinion. I use it all of the time on my iPhone.
