The Sirius XM weather alerts are complimentary on most Ascents for the first three years. It's part of the TravelLink package that's bundled with the vehicle.People still pay for Sirius XM?
I didn't know this. Since I bought the car I just immediately plug in my phone so I've never noticed it.

Nope. The incorrect notifications are complimentary, and show up multiple times on a 10 minute trip.People still pay for Sirius XM?
While these are annoying, and wrong in this case, I have yet to see any of these messages appear on a phone broadcast.I turned off the weather alerting because it's annoying and I get the severe ones on my phone anyway.
Free has a way of always winning outI had Sirius XM for about 2 years with my Outback. I actually really liked it.
Then, Verizon started offering Apple Music for free in my cell plan. It was hard to beat free.
I do prefer XM's "channels" over Apple and hence I find XM slightly more enjoyable. That is my personal taste. Again though, "free" continues to win me over.
I can't comment on Android, but on iOS, public alerts can be enabled and disabled in the settings application. They are at the bottom of the Notifications screen where you control notifications for various applications and there are three areas...AMBER Alerts, Emergency Alerts and Public Safety Alerts.While these are annoying, and wrong in this case, I have yet to see any of these messages appear on a phone broadcast.
I cannot overstate this, @Jim_in_PA , the alerts did not appear.

There seems to be a lot of farting in the car here. Roll down the windows and listen to nature insteadI pay for Siriusxm, partly because the wife wants it. Heck of a lot easier for Siriusxm to play than her farting with her phone each time. Plus, that means I'd have to fart with my phone when driving it and without her if I wanted some good background music.

Also, we have her on Ting which means no unlimited data. And most do not offer true unlimited data, they throttle. Plus side is cell phone bill for her + our kid is less than $50 combined. Neither of them use or need data which would justify unlimited plans.
The Country music will still play with the windows rolled downThere seems to be a lot of farting in the car here. Roll down the windows and listen to nature instead
Strange....I'm on T-Mo and get them no issue if I happen to turn them on.I cannot overstate this, @Jim_in_PA , the alerts did not appear. Two different phones, iPhone, Android (Verizon, TMobile respectively).
Now, don't get me wrong - if there's a loose dog 400 miles north of me running around on the freeway, I get notifications on my phones, tablets, refrigerator, and even laundry machine.Strange....I'm on T-Mo and get them no issue if I happen to turn them on.![]()
Is anyone else born from say---1965 to 2005 having notification overload right now? I got (7) notifications from little B's middle school today. On top of the (4) I received yesterday. All backed up by emails as well.Now, don't get me wrong - if there's a loose dog 400 miles north of me running around on the freeway, I get notifications on my phones, tablets, refrigerator, and even laundry machine.
Yep. My kids’ school reports any confirmed cases in any school in the county to all parents...by push notification, email, text, AND phonecall+voicemail if you don’t answer. Then there’s the extra newsletters they feel are necessary now, delivered the same way. Yay 2020Is anyone else born from say---1965 to 2005 having notification overload right now?

Three years complimentary. Phone weather is better, since it's more specific (geographically).I didn't know this. Since I bought the car I just immediately plug in my phone so I've never noticed it. I think the radio is still tuned to whatever it was when I bought it
