Sirrius

Spontaneous onset of persistent ad on radio soliciting enrollment in Sirrius radio. Can't turn off, can't disable. Anyone else having this annoyance?

I had Sirius in 4 vehicles up until last year and called them 3 times to see why friends that had it in just one car were getting much better rates. They kept giving me all kinds of excuses so I told them to **** off. All my music is on a memory stick I plug into each vehicle. I still get something in the mail once a week from them and numerous phone calls every month. Sorry, Cannot help you out. I will never deal with them again. Rant over!
P.S. - For over 100k the SL should have a spare tire. 😊

For over 100k the SL should have a limited-slip differential. I'd rather have a tire repair kit than a spare in a car like this. A space saver tire would not work well with a largely staggered setup and a powerful motor like that of the SL's.

Solution found. Press power button until off, continue to hold until radio returns sans Sirrius ad.

The rep you initially speak to when you call Sirius can't offer any discounts. If you tell that rep you want to cancel they'll forward you to another rep who can offer you a better deal if you continue to threaten cancellation. I do this every year.

It's still somewhat expensive if you use it only in your car, unless you're in your car a LOT. We also make regular use of the Sirius streaming service all day every day in our house, which makes it much more worthwhile.
