Factory stereos suck, no matter who makes them.

Why, in hell, would you want to CANCEL it? XM is the best thing to
happen to driving a car since air conditioning.

I'm not even sure they're being sold preactived. But if not, run,
don't walk to your PC and activate at once (xmradio.com). You won't
regret it.

Those are the finest plastic basket, paper cone speakers that China
produces. Cost almost $1 apiece.

Well, the sale of the car includes 3 months of XM. I doubt it's
preactivated, though; they'd activate only with an account being
established.
