Nothing like driving all the way across country and not having to spin the dial (or push the scan button - yes, I'm a boomer fuckwads) looking for decent reception. I know, there are other sources of music, I have Amazon music, CDs, USB drives with CD rips, but I still like listening to the radio. Let someone else do up the mix and all that.
I remember, back in the late seventies, driving across Arizona overnight and trying to find a station. Only thing I could pick up at 4 in the morning was some Christian talk show from about 400 miles away, I felt like shooting the radio.
Like I say, so nice to have the same station all the way across. They do sometimes play recorded shows without telling you. If you do 24 hours on any of the music stations I have listened to you will hear the same sequence of songs again but still beats the hell out of fuzz, static and send me a dollar and I will send you a touch from the lord.
My wife's new Malibu has the satellite radio and full blue tooth and I can use Android Auto. That is a nice setup too.
I recently bough a 2018 Ultra Limited and it has blue tooth to the stereo but not from the stereo (meaning I can play the phone through the stereo but have to have wired headphone unless I want to upgrade to the tune of about $400) , I also have a couple of SENA headsets that I can go to the phone directly. I use the sirius app so I have my satellite with me on the bike too.
Funny, I won't pay a dime to get TV, I am over the air and free shit for streaming on that but I will spend $50 or so a month to have my tunes and not even think about it, lol.
