Im looking at vehicles right now (begrudgingly) and the Outback is one of them. Im told they come with XM and no option of SIRIUS. Is this true? If so, how much of a pain is it to switch the XM for SIRIUS? I dont want XM.

Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 21, 2007 6:38 am) I find it so stupid Subaru does this. WTF? Did they do some sort of research that said people interested in Forestoers would prefer SIRIUS to XM? And vice versa for Outback?

Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 21, 2007 6:44 am) I hate its styling. And not super crazy about the Outbacks to be honest.

Replying to: wcc1968 (Jun 21, 2007 7:02 am) I tried like crazy to get my wife to trade her Legacy so we could keep the Forester but she's the boss.

Sirius is not yet available on the 08 Outbacks that are on the dealer lots in my area, but the Subaru dealer from whom I am purchasing my Outback is special ordering the car with only the options I want - including Sirius.

I got my dealer to order & install the Sirius package into my '08 Legacy. The radio that comes in the car is ready for a plug in of the XM or Sirius pack. I like the fact that it's part of the radio now, not an add on stuck on the windshield or elsewhere, but the music data does not scroll, it just sits there with around 10-15 characters. I think that my dealer is somewhat of an idiot (collectively, the management & svce mgrs.) I asked for my old Sirius add on from my trade in to be removed and returned to me and they just cut the wires & tried to give me the head only. They wound up paying me for the radio. |
