FaFa.....I know you don't want to believe what tv genious says but it's true. I just don't know if it applies in this particular situation but what he said is indeed true about how Sirius counts unsold cars as paying subs.

Again with the "how Sirius counts bullshit." I thought this was solved when everyone figured out that the SUBS WERE BEING PAID FOR!! If the manufacturer pays for all the subs then they should be counted. If XM gives away 100,000 MiFi's to employees of retail establishments with free service (which they did cause I got mine), and over that amount of Helix's (which they did, but I am still waiting on mine) and count those as subs, then what is the difference? Each company counts basically the same way. If a unit is activated, it is counted. Sirius partners activate theirs as soon as they are built (but only on their factory installed units), or after they are bought from the dealer (with the dealer installed ones, i.e. Toyota). XM counts theirs as soon as they are activated and paid for as well, GM and others just don't pay for theirs until the customer has paid. Ford, Chrylser, etc., pay for theirs right away and then pass it on to the customer.
I see no real difference at all, and notice that it all balances out in the end anyway.

As a sirius subscriber I was a little hesitant about how sirius counted as well but it makes sense now.
"P"- Thanks. Sometimes it helps to hear it explained from another source.
Somehow some people will still say, "but if the end user isn't paying for it than it shouldn't count." blah blah blah.
