What's everyone paying for XM +NavTraffic these days

My XM with NavTraffic expires the first week of June. What's everyone paying these days for XM + NavTraffic for their G37's? I was quoted $11.87 monthly for XM and $3.99 for NavTraffic for 1 year. Seems rather high, what do you people think?

Thanks, Kev.

Those prices don't sound too bad. Can you give a lump sum payment for the year for XM that will give you a discount?

Also, is Navtraffic working for you in your city? (what I mean is that is it real-time where it's actually helpful or are they obvious reports that reach your NAV when your already at the accident/traffic jam?)

nav does work before traffic jam.

I recently was in jersey heading into manhattan, I checked before I left in Jersey & It was on screen mad accident.

Went around another route & saved alot of traffic.

Worth the $$$.

Honestly, I rather just have the NavTraffic but...... The price for an 1 or 2 year is $142.44 for XM and then $47.88 for the annual NavTraffic. I was told if I signed up for 3 years they would reduce it to $9.99 a month ($119.88 a year) and the same for NavTraffic ($47.88 a year). Is anyone getting the $77 a year?

Yes. Tell them you'd like to cancel because the cost is too much. They'll ask if you'd renew if the cost is cheaper. If they offer any more than $77, say its still too much and they'll offer $77. I don't think they can discount the traffic unless you pay for the whole year in advance with a credit card, and even then its only a few bucks as I remember. Good luck.

I got mine for a year at $77 but they wouldn't cut me any slack with Nav so that was $50 or whatever the regular price is per year.

Thanks everyone, I'll keep trying for the $77 and I've never heard of them discounting the NavTraffic.
