I'm in the same boat. I'm thinking it's more for a Cadillac, Buick type customer that would find value with it but then again I really don't know what other people are using it for. The only things I can think of off the bat would be to have the car unlocked remotely, accident reporting, the ability to start and do some other functions from remote locations. While I find a lot of these features cool I can't really say that I'd use them that much or that it would be worth it to me personally to have them for what they're charging. I have a Galaxy G7 phone and use Google for most everything I need.

In a somewhat related topic, my Camaro turned a year old two weeks ago so Sirius is also done and am having the same issue trying to justify renewing it, even at the $5 a month for 6 months rate. The only thing I've noticed with the loss of Sirius is that the weather and traffic patterns no longer show up on my GPS. I've also noticed that traffic alerts are no longer coming through the sound system but I honestly found the volume they chimed in at annoying and typically came after I was in or past the incident they were trying to alert me about. At $15 a month I just can't see the value there for me as I use Pandora near 95% of the time for my music.
