Default Bluetooh steaming or XM? Which service do you prefer?

I'm curious & wanted to ask the community:

1. Do you enjoy more; (or would use more on a daily basis) bluetooh steaming or xm radio?
2. A little about your choice...
3. If bluetooh steaming, On Android or iPhone? what service do you use? Pandora, I heart radio, your itunes library etc...


1. I am enjoying the free 3 months of XM provided radio. In such time I am not bluetooh streaming.

2. As a paid subscription service I am less likely to keep paying for XM. I pay monthly for a cell phone data cap of 5gb. I can get great variety of streaming radio thru my connected phone. I plan on bluetooth steaming as a primary source of music.

3. I use Xiia live on android. Lots of varitey.

I'm looking forward to hearing from the community.
Good luck & prosperity to my fellow Club Lexus members.

XM adds alot of benefits to ownership of this car. All the real time traffic info, freeway gas prices & amenities is a neat tool to have. If you use them both, you must never be bored in your car. Thank you for sharing.

I listen sometimes to international radio stations and I use TuneIn Radio app for that. It works with BT streaming on 2013 GS. The radio app in the Lexus Suite supports only US stations.
Once the complimentary subscriptions to Lexus Enform with Safety Connect, Lexus App Suite and SiriusXM services expire I plan to subscribe only to SiriusXM NavTraffic in order to have real time traffic info with my navigation.

i came to a conclusion that u wont renew my subscription with xm radio after my 3 months free, it is mostly bc i use bt way more than xm, the only time i use xm is because i had to tell myself that i should take advantage of the free trial. i have sprint with unlimited everything, so if i cant figure out anything to listion to which i highly doubt i can stream music from my playlist on youtube.

Has the 16 character limit been fixed with XM?
