I'm sure that'll make people who bought a 2014 before July 1st "happy".

Hell, I'd just be happy if Sirius took me off their piss poor XM satellites and put me back on the Sirius satellites so I'd quit getting the "XM service loading... please wait" bullschmidt everytime I use the radio.

I would so excited to have 5 years of crappy sounding satellite radio!

seriously.. I dont know whats wrong with it, but its horrible. Normal radio sounds 10x better... HD sound 30x better. SXM is just dull.

im surprised I havent received a "renew" notice yet? mines up on 7/19 (not that I Will...)

Fortunately for you (and folks like me), that offer doesn't include sat radio. :) Only traffic and POI.

I'm really pissed at Sirius right now. From what I've been reading, they're moving customers over to their poorer coverage XM satellites right around the time your free trial period expires.

This "XM service loading... please wait" crap started about 2 weeks prior to my free subscription ending. Never had that happen once prior to that. Now it happens at least twice on every daily commute to-from work.

I've also noticed somewhat of a drop in sound quality after that started happening.

I have an XM radio in my other vehicle and I'm not getting this.

:sleepy: I thought I would use it quite a bit when traveling, but on a long road trip, hardly used it at all, so I will let it lapse.

Has anyone complained to Jeep about this and got them to give them the 5yrs?

Retarded...simply retarded. Way to alienate your customers Chrysler.

:mad:

With all the problems many have had with their early build 2014 Grand Cherokees, Chrysler should extend this free 5 years of SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link to ALL 2014 GC owners with the 8.4AN radio.

:slapfight:

One of the moderators from another Cherokee forum said his dealer told him that all 2014 Grand Cherokees will be grandfathered in to this due to all the radio problems. Sounds like mere speculation to me, but would be nice if Chrysler did this. Here's a link to the post, but I wouldn't get your hopes up:
Five-Year Subscription to SiriusXM Traffic and Travel Link - 2014 Jeep Cherokee Forums
Fingers crossed! Thanks for the hopeful news.

If Chrysler does NOT include ALL 2014 Grand Cherokees, we should ALL call Chrysler Customer Care and lodge complaints about this...I know I will be.

I can't help but wonder if this is an attempt to start motivating/maintaining a revenue stream. With Apple/Google moving into the auto space what is the long-term value of Travelink (or in-dash NAV -- (e.g.; garmin maps, etc.). UConnect has the same risk... why pay for a service that Apple/Google will provide for mostly free (at face value anyway). This 'free' stuff may help maintain sat radio subscriptions in favor of Pandora, iTunes Radio, etc.

Be curious to see which one of the big-guys (Apple, Google, Microsoft) tries to buy Sirius for satellite distribution (or just decides to launch their own satellites).

If Chrysler really wants to enhance their customers UConnect experience just, as an example, allow all the functions the Garmin nav systems are capable of, not the scaled back systems we are given, and pay dearly for.

I have noticed I have traffic again even though it expired. I can't say it's much use though. I have been at a dead stop many times with the traffic showing green on the Nav. Seems too slow to react to the rush hour surge.

They will turn it on for about two weeks every couple of months and usually follow that up with an offer to renew in the mail.

If you have an 8.4AN didn't your car come with NAV? I'm talking about when you add NAV to a NAV ready 8.4A.

I was under the impression that this thread was about the 8.4AN based on the thread title... as you wouldn't be getting a free 5 year subscription to any of this on a 8.4A unit.

If you're specifically talking about adding any of this to a 8.4A then I have no reason to argue against what you stated.
